A Wheelhouse Classic Episode: Feedback isn't Enough: Accomplishment-Driven Leaders Think Growth

It's that time of year! We are either already underway in the 2023-2024 school year or we are in the midst welcoming staff back and preparing for our students to return. Last week we talked about the opening days of the school year ADL style. This week, we're going to revisit a Wheelhouse Classic Episode from Season 4. Back in March 2023, Grant, Kathy and Penny were deep in weekly discussions about the many paradigm shifts Accomplishment-Driven Leaders make as they choose a new destination and a different way of getting there. In this episode, they talked about moving beyond feedback to steering, supporting and expecting growth for all those who are in their charge. As the new year begins, let's commit to growth and recognize that feedback alone will never get us to where we really need to go for each learner!

Exploring Teaching, Learning, & Leading

The Wheelhouse mixes interviews and conversations with in-depth thinking around our foundational components of Fair Winds, our powerhouse framework for disrupting the educational landscape: Accomplishment-Driven Leadership and Powerful Student Care.

We believe it’s our priority as educators to prove to each student how incredibly distinctive and irreplaceable his/her life is. Together, let’s continue to step up to this incredibly important challenge and add additional tools and skills right into our Wheelhouse.
