Because of a Teacher is now avaiable! Get your copy at linktr.ee/gcouros Inspired from a recent podcast focused on showing gratitude to educators that focused on the book, Because of a Teacher (bit.do/BOAT), this podcast shares a way to get students involved in creating a school podcast - asking students who is a teacher/educator/staff member that inspired you and why. This could be a short story shared by students which is powerful because the students share gratitude to their teachers. This could also be an opportunity for professional development where schools can reflect on what the students value about others. Couros also shares a way to get input from parents and caregivers that will help their voices be heard in the school decision-making process. A final note from Couros shares two important reasons to reflect - reflecting is a way to share learning and also a way to learn. The closing question asks, “How do you process learning?” Links: BECAUSE of a TEACHER: Livia Chan, Dwight Carter, and George Couros - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnCxWW1ho8c Because of a Teacher on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Because-Teacher-Stories-Inspire-Education/dp/194833433X George Couros' Weekly Emails - https://bit.do/GeorgeMail Quotes: "It is better to show gratitude too early rather than too late."

Don't miss this vblog on YouTube or catch our Read This segment of our One Thing Series podcast--books you need to read to lead better and grow faster. Featured Author: Doris Kearns Goodwin Featured Books: Leadership: In Turbulent Times Why We Love This Book for School Leaders We love this book for school leaders, especially now, because Kearns draws on the skills and attributes of four American presidents--Abraham Lincoln, Theodre Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson--who encountered times of confusion, fear, despair, and hope. Leadership: In Turbulent Times is destined to be a classic. Here are just a few reasons to pick it up: The author points out the specific traits that make for a successful leader in any organization. For example, we learn that not only was Lincoln ambitious--running for the office of the presidency at age 23--he had “the motivation and willpower to develop every talent he possessed to the fullest.” This is something that school leaders can emulate and model to develop a learning culture for themselves and others. Reflection Question: What learning experiences do you have lined up for this year that will help to develop your talents to the fullest? The last four chapters are a ton of fun, including transformational leadership, crisis management, turnaround leadership, and visionary leadership. It's almost like this book was written exclusively for school leaders, although it's universal to any organization. Reflection Question: How will you communicate your vision for change in your school this year? Lastly, this is an incredible book to lead a book study on with other educational leaders. Kearns Goodwin is remarkable about describing each leader's journey. As we move into our second school year filled with uncertainty and doubt, having candid leadership conversations that go beyond procedures and processes, and into the heart of tough decision-making, can prove to be invaluable. Reflection Question: How will you support others this year along their leadership journey? Becoming a Better School Leader During a Disruptive Time in Education Another book that we recommend in this ReadThisSeries episode is Leading Schools in Disruptive Times: How to Survive Hyper-Change by Mark White and Dwight Carter. We appreciate this book because it redefines certain aspects of school leadership for those who are experiencing overload and demands beyond control. The authors have a CAT strategy--coping, adjusting, and transforming--strategy that they embed within the conversation about school safety. Safety is no longer just about the physical aspects of school violence but also the psychological safety that students need to be effective learners. This point and many others make the book an important read for all school leaders. Let us know what you think, and don't miss our podcast episode with Dwight Carter.

Who Is Dwight Carter? Dwight Carter is a nationally recognized school leader from Central Ohio and has been an educator for 27 years. Because of his collaborative and innovative leadership, in 2010, he was inducted into the Jostens Renaissance Educator Hall of Fame. He was also named a 2013 National Association of Secondary School Principals Digital Principal of the Year, the 2014 Academy of Arts and Science Education High School Principal of the Year, the 2015 Ohio Alliance of Black School Educators Principal of the Year, and a 2021 Columbus Afrocentric Early College Sankofa Emerging Leader Award winner. He is currently the Director of Student Support Systems for the Eastland-Fairfield Career and Technical Schools District. He is the co-author of three books: What's In Your Space? Five Steps to Better School and Classroom Design (Corwin, 2015), Leading Schools in Disruptive Times: How to Survive Hyper-change (Corwin 2017), and the second edition of Leading Schools in Disruptive Times (Corwin, 2021). Major Takeaways from Our Interview with Dwight Carter: Dwight dives into how we have to move past our feeling that these are “unprecedented times” so that we don't inadvertently limit our schools and classrooms in ways that we may not even be aware of. He specifies that students need consistency and safety. Don't miss how he defines safety as mulit-dimensional--emotional, social, and communal. Social emotional learning wasn't created by the pandemic, but it's compounded by it. His perspective on the importance of having a system of accountability after implementing ways to connect with students is critical for us to know every child. The conversation on the “dot exercise” is insightful and most importantly doable. We dive into the power of the Jostens Renaissance Education as a framework that Dwight uses with students. Don't miss what he has to say about finding out how we need to know how students want to be celebrated. Listen to what Dwight has to say about hyper-change and to-do lists. Dwight willingly gets personal and describes what he wants to learn how to do, mainly because it's limiting family experiences. Dwight references The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks. You need this book if you don't have it already. Check out the VIA Assessment, something that Dwight uses to continue his leadership growth.

At the age of five, Kincs by Nicki, Founder and Designer Nichole “Nicki” Burton began her journey as an artist. A Columbus, Ohio native; Burton is a self-taught artist and designer who has turned her passion for drawing and painting into a sustainable enterprise. Burton’s creative instinct propels her to experiment with color and texture, producing a signature style that has evolved into a vibrant brand of wearable art that is far from ordinary. A classic Kincs by Nicki creation is uniquely outstanding because Burton masterfully combines colors, textiles and cultural relevance together to create pieces that resonate with its future owner. “Art should be appreciated; not discarded in a basement or lost in a jewelry box.” Keeping with her belief that each piece should be a one-of-a-kind work of art, she intentionally ensures that no one, hand-painted piece is the same. "Everything I create is intentional and meaningful to the entire collection.” Burton’s process for creating new pieces manifests in the forms of dreams. “No pencil or stencil. It is all in my head.” It is no wonder that Nichole’s statement-making jewelry and clothing reflect the city that she inhabits and works in which is bedecked in cultural significance and imaginative representation. Over the course of her successful 20+-year career, Nichole has collaborated with designers, photographers, stylists, make-up artists and activists to highlight, enlighten and educate the significance and relevance of African-American art. Additionally, Nichole also operates a mobile art studio that turns any location into an art studio in minutes. She also hosts themed “Paint & Sip” events throughout the year. She currently resides in Columbus, Ohio with her husband, three adult children, and one grandchild. So, friends, you may wonder how in the world I got connected to such a brilliant artist, and I am absolutely giddy over this back story. Many of my regular listeners will be familiar with the fact that I listen closely to the direction I receive, and one day I was prompted to contact my much-esteemed colleague Dwight Carter. You may know him as an award-winning educator, author, and speaker. I know him as someone God places squarely in my life when I needed his story the most, and Dwight has blessed me in so many ways including writing an incredible foreword for Lead with FAITH. So what does Dwight have to do with today’s guest? Friends, you are going to have to listen to the interview to learn that information and much much more. In this episode, we learn how Nicki has always had what she believes is a God-given talent for art, and we learn about her wonderful life and experiences as a teacher no less! Regular listeners of this show will not be surprised when we go deep, beyond art and into spirituality and social justice.

In this inaugural episode, host Kristina MacBury chats with Dwight Carter, a former high school principal in Central Ohio and NASSP Digital Principal of the Year. Carter, a co-author of several books on education, is currently an Effectiveness Coach for Dynamix. Carter describes his education excellence mission as doing something every day to positively impact students. In his book, Leading Schools in Disruptive Times, he explains the positivity comes from CAT (Cope, Adjust, and Transform). Carter discusses how he reacted to racist graffiti at his school—being visible and providing reassurance to his staff and students. Carter talks about Dynanix’s launch of Be GREAT Huddle, as a means to implement positivity, and which will include a private Facebook group, which you might want to consider joining. External recognition and intrinsic motivation—two extremely important concepts in education—need to be balanced, Carter notes. Other significant education excellence aphorisms: Good grades don’t always translate into happiness. It’s important to create boundaries for electronic devices, which students really are looking for.
