Anchor Chat # 28: What Are We Tolerating?

About this episode

Dr. Woods explores what behaviors and expectations are being tolerated in schools and their impact on culture.

Anchor Chat # 28: What Are We Tolerating? In this episode, Dr. Woods explores a challenging but essential leadership question: What are we tolerating in our schools that may be quietly shaping our culture? From inconsistent expectations to small behaviors that go unchecked, what leaders and educators allow (intentionally or unintentionally) often becomes the norm over time. Dr. Woods reflects on how the standards we uphold, the routines we reinforce, and the moments we address (or overlook) all contribute to the environment students and staff experience each day.
