Preparing to Disrupt the Disruption in Education

We launch Homeroom Attendance by asking a simple question with sharp edges: are we truly present in our schools or just physically in the room. We challenge the addiction to new initiatives and make the case that trust and culture, not binders and acronyms, determine whether students and adults can do their best work. • reintroducing the show and why the rebrand matters • defining “attendance” as presence for students and adults • naming the big three issues: teacher burnout, teacher turnover, student disengagement, plus leadership fatigue • explaining why new initiatives fail when the culture stays the same • shifting from “what programs do we need” to “what conditions do we need” • unpacking culture as the operating system of a school • real example: behavior problems rooted in broken trust • sharing my background and why this work is personal • reflective questions: what can’t be solved by another initiative and what version of your school you’re building If you enjoy this episode, I want you to share it with someone.
