MVP: Common frameworks and language help bring alignment

If you said to me “I need to get out of quadrant 3!” I would know exactly what you meant. 

However, people in your workplace who aren’t familiar with the Eisenhower Matrix might stare at you blankly.

When people in an organization share common frameworks and language, it becomes much easier to discuss and make progress on challenges.

In schools, we talk about classroom management and discipline, but these terms mean different things to different people, resulting in confusion and frustration in challenging situations.

What if we had common frameworks and language to talk about building a positive classroom culture?

We do! 

If you are an educational leader, I invite you to take my free course on the foundations of building a classroom culture. Link and details are below the signature line. You can also learn more on today’s episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast.

If you aren’t an educator, think about some of the challenges you face, how people talk about those challenges, and the perspectives and assumptions they bring. Are you all speaking the same language?

Today’s intention: Listen for the meanings behind what people say and think about one area for which common language could be helpful.
​
Cheers!
