Volusia County School District’s Post

The best thing about this role is that you get to work closely with Mark Harrison! You can listen to him give you a few other reasons why you should join #TeamDixons in the video below.

The purpose of teacher and leader evaluation is for both measurement and growth.  The Marzano Focused Models are on the growth end of the spectrum while many other frameworks tend to only focus on the measurement aspect. Both aspects are necessary but only one is going to help grow your teachers and leaders in the strategies that matter most!

My very first article was posted for a publication 😬 This something I’ve always wanted to do but not something I always believed I could do. I was reminded of a 2020 post I wrote about passing on a 2019 opportunity on Facebook. So 4yrs after feeling I was unqualified to do such a thing, it’s amazing to see the progress made to get here. Even for such a small feat. Thank you to he Channel Company & Inclusive Leadership Network for allowing me the space to speak on the truth on Affirmative Action, the implications of this ruling, and what Higher Education and Corporate America should do to continue to prioritize diversity and inclusion efforts in the absence of affirmative action policies. PS: this is behind a FREE membership wall But anyone interested in reading outside of joining, just reach out and I’ll send.

Challenges in Recruiting As seen in Hunt Scanlon Media's recently released 2023 Higher Education Recruiting Report, #recruiting senior leaders in the higher education sector has become a dynamic and evolving process. As #universities face numerous challenges, including financial constraints, enrollment declines, and the need to prioritize diversity and inclusion, the demand for visionary and transformational leaders has never been higher. "A major issue for state systems – especially where demographic forces are resulting in declining enrollment and associated tuition revenue in rural areas – is how to maintain some access to higher education in those locations with fewer resources,” said Jim Johnsen, VP of executive search at Greenwood Asher & Associates. “In response, schools are seeking #leaders who have a stomach for making decisions that involve tradeoffs between competing public good where some in the community might experience loss in the pursuit of what others see as a sustainable path forward.” To read more, and download the full report, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eBtqtuRc #HigherEducation #ExecutiveSearch

Ever wonder why West Virginia is always at the top of bad lists and the bottom of good ones? My home state is really good at driving talent away and fighting progress. It might be the state’s sole gift. The proposed cuts at West Virginia University are a good example of the endemic ignorance that lives in the mountain state. To the “leaders” at WVU: you can’t cost cut your way to glory. If you’re out of ideas to grow enrollment and serve the young people of WV, just say it and quit. Stop choosing comfort, status, pretending and a paycheck over progress. Throwing up your hands and saying “I don’t know “ isn’t progress. It’s surrender. Why would anyone attend a university that doesn’t respect itself enough to grow and evolve? #leadership #management #ceomindset
