Dear Leadership Lab, Season 14 Participants,<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the space where our asynchronous discussions will be taking place. We will post ideas, provocations and resources here, and expect that you respond with your thoughts and contributions to push our individual and collective thinking forward. This is an opportunity to build upon the important work and learning from our face-to-face time, and to generally engage as a cohort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Leadership is a special responsibility. It is especially special, and particularly layered, within the context of education. As educators, we are continually building backwards from student experiences and outcomes. Therefore, as leaders within schools, we maintain deep awareness for the impact of our approaches, decision making, communications, implementations and general ways of being on students – in the immediate or as a cultural trickle down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a moment to ground ourselves in <\/span>the famous Rita Pierson Ted Talk, \u201cEvery Kid Needs a Champion.\u201d<\/span><\/a> In this talk, educator Rita Pierson reminds us that \u201ckids don\u2019t learn from people they don\u2019t like,\u201d and that every child deserves a champion \u2014 an adult who will never give up on them. As you reply to this post, consider the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Devote eight undistracted minutes to watching the Ted Talk.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Consider Rita Pierson\u2019s wisdom within the context of your current role within your organization.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. What does being a champion for others mean to you as a leader?<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. If leadership creates ripples, what are the ripples you aspire to as a current or aspiring leader?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
