Stop buying textbooks and invest in the #1 variable in determining whether a curriculum is successful or not...the teacher.For 50-60 years there was no other option. Districts bought canned curriculum from publishers. Period. Every teacher in America now has reasonable access to the knowledge, the experience, and the TOOLS to build their own. Set them free to do this and create a culture of learning for your staff. The ROI is limitless if you believe in and support your teachers.

The struggle is learning.Too often I hear complaints from employers, teachers, and parents about young people not having the necessary 'soft' skills. These skills CANNOT be TAUGHT. They must be internalized through experiences.Stay out of the way, let them struggle and then help them frame it when they're ready.

If the people at the top believe the people at the bottom exist to make their own jobs easier, the organization is upside-down. You exist at the top to make the jobs of those under you easier.

It sounds daunting as the teacher, but it really isn't. Build relationships with your surrounding community members and businesses. In this podcast I explain how to do this effectively. Two quick tips: DO - Make a phone call to your local chamber of commerce before you have an exact plan. DO NOT - Build a plan and then just go to the community for money.
