“This thing that we call education is much bigger than just trying to perfect the craft of teaching content. It is also about cultivating people into the best that they can be. It's about helping them maximize their potential. And that's really where the beauty and the magic exist.”
-Carlon Howard
“The power and change isn't trying to figure out the perfect way to reach the most number of people. It's really about how do you have these small interactions that can then add up over time that then equate to this large scale change.”

“In the work of education, we can't do it alone. We don't have all the ideas, but the people that are around us, the people that are across the street in those businesses or that may be in the classroom, setting up that they have answers to the problems that we had, and getting them at a table, getting them on a Zoom that we can actually support and serve our students in the best way possible with just knowing that you aren't in it alone. And to utilize the resources and the people that are surrounding you.”

Show Highlights
Reading the signs when your staff goes “BIG.”
Discipline done well is a loving process with these practical strategies.
Leaders need to get comfortable "embracing the messy" for productivity.
Edgy topics around the concept of discipline.
Forming groups vs committees.
Systems thinking structures around challenging ideas and criticism to make the ideas better.
Establish routines instead of rules within a real world liability and expectations for parents and students.
“Restorative practices, restorative justice, it seems to never talk about how to do the discipline when discipline must be involved. And so if you can avoid discipline by good routines, good relationships, that's the ideal. But when a bad choice has been made, how do you interact with that kid? What do you do? Restorative justice talks about circles and restoring the relationship after the bad decision has been made, but in a real world with real liability and real societal issues and expectations.”
