Henry Schein’s Post

Reflecting on April... Began the month in NOLA for National School Boards Association and heard keynotes from Ruby Bridges and Tim Shriver, traveled to Lockport (IL) where the EOS partnership has supported a year-1 increase of 24% participation in AP, and heard Jason Green ('solutions must be future-forward') keynote the Multicultural Student Achievement Network's Institute, in Madison. Takeaways: ~Relying on past practices and outdated models only serves to perpetuate existing inequities and limit the potential of students.   ~To impact educational equity, we must embrace a 'future-forward' approach that breaks away from traditional and outdated teacher practices and assumptions about students’ academic potential.   ~By looking forward, we can envision a more inclusive and equitable educational system that meets the needs of all learners, regardless of their background or circumstances.   ~It is essential that we challenge the status quo, rethink our assumptions, and explore new ways of approaching education that are more responsive to the diverse needs of students.   ~By embracing a 'future-forward' mindset, we can create a more dynamic and inclusive educational landscape that empowers all learners to thrive and succeed in their post-secondary pursuits. It's not too late to engage with Equal Opportunity Schools and join our dynamic cohort of high schools for the 2024-25 school year.

📚 I recently wrote an article for #FGCU360 about the Lucas Center’s 10-year tradition of professional development book clubs at Florida Gulf Coast University. I've joined at least five of these clubs at #FGCU over the years so I know firsthand how they foster innovation, build community and challenge participants to explore new ideas. Here are three key takeaways from the article that can be applied to anyone looking to grow professionally:   1.) Step outside your comfort zone. Like Laura Frost, who took on a challenging topic outside her typical field, we grow the most when we embrace new ideas and experiences that push us to think differently.   2.) Engage in meaningful dialogue. Like Jackie Greene said, there's a kind of magic in workplace book clubs, where diverse perspectives are shared by participants from different academic backgrounds. Having open discussions with people from various disciplines enriches your own understanding and sparks innovation.   3.) Build a sense of community. Professional growth isn’t just about personal success — like Bill Reynolds said, it’s about fostering connections that support and inspire you. FGCU’s book clubs help faculty build lasting relationships and share knowledge that strengthens the entire campus. ✨ Consider starting or joining a workplace group where you can share knowledge and grow together.
