Rewind: How to Avoid the "October Drift"

from School Leadership Reimagined · host School Leadership Reimagined

If you're like most school administrators, this is the time of year that we, without even realizing it, are already starting to drift ever so slightly from the resolutions and plans we made at the beginning of the school year. We're not off track exactly, but things have started to slip a little. And, we're not too worried yet, because after all, it's only October.  Which is exactly why October is such a dangerous month. It's early enough in the school year where we still feel like we have time to meet our goals so we're often lulled into a false sense of complacency. But what we don't realize is that it is the work we do now that determines whether we will actually meet our goals this school year.  So on today's episode, I'm going to share with you 5 simple shifts you need to make now to keep you from drifting away from your plans and goals and finding yourself off course in January. Take these simple steps and you can get refocused, make real progress before the holidays, and set yourself up for true success this school year #LikeABuilder.
