Beyond Standardized Tests: Redefine Students' Readiness to Thrive After Graduation

Teachers and leaders alike have been calling for students to be seen as more than a number earned on a standardized test.

So what is dyslexia really??

The official view of dyslexia is  that it is a mental impairment which a great percentage of children are born with. They bring this defect to the classroom. Naturally no reasonable person would expect our public schools to teach these defective students how to read, etc.  

 In this way, when schools decline and reading scores drop still lower, the Education Establishment has an all-purpose…

Bringing Humanness to Active Leadership

It is the leader who understands, on a deep personal level, what change asks of a person and who can operate off of that personal understanding who can engender trust. That was the difference between our friend's  failed attempt and the slower but more successful second attempt. He overcame resistance and resentment by becoming a sense maker as he invited the organization to accompany him on the change journey. …
