But My Staff
About this episode
Robyn Jackson discusses the doubts principals have about their staff's ability to achieve 100% student success and the underlying beliefs that contribute to these doubts.
Do you have a vision for your school but secretly doubt your teachers will get there with you? You're not alone — and you're not wrong to feel it. But the doubt isn't about your teachers. It's about a belief nobody has ever directly addressed. In this episode, I share the realization that stopped me cold this spring: I've spent twenty years trying to convince principals to believe in 100% student success. And I've been arguing the wrong thing the entire time. Every principal I've ever worked with already believes every kid deserves to succeed. What they don't believe is that their staff can get there with them. And that one belief is costing them everything. If you've ever settled for compliance because alignment felt impossible, this episode is for you.
