  • Creating a Culture of Authenticity in Education
    Jul 10 2024
    Charles Hartney is the Head of Upper School and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion coordinator at The Park School of Buffalo, a progressive, independent school serving students from PreK and Montessori through Grade 12. Outside of school, Charlie is a proud husband and father of two, an avid reader, and a lifelong Buffalo sports fan. #GoBills. Show Highlights Create intentional deposits with every member of your learning community. Charles' highlights his quest from transitioning from teacher to administrator within the same building. Significance of seeking help by involving others in decision-making processes. Cultivate a celebratory culture without having to be the cheerleader type. A culture team doesn’t exist without both faculty and student representatives. Importance of curiosity, compassion, and community in education. A framework that gives you the permission to be the kind of leader that you want to be. “I want people to remember that you don't have to be in a moment of crisis to seek help, to get unstuck or to think again about the work that you do. If anybody out there is like me and has been resistant to help in the past, or feels like they might be burdening other people by asking for help, or just feels like they should have all the answers, I would encourage you to find ways to get yourself unstuck, to seek out that help. Because once you have the support that you need, the work you're going to be able to do for your schools and for your faculty and for your families and for your students is going to be immeasurable. You can do incredible things.” -Charles Hartney Get the episode transcript here! Charles’ Resources & Contact Info: The Park School of Buffalo Linkedin. Read my latest book!

Distinguishing between reality and thoughts to enhance accountability. 3 Guiding Principles that align coursework with student passions as key principles for schools. Applying mindfulness skills to navigate various challenges effectively. “In dialectics, we like to call it walking the middle path. And it's taking a look at the positives and the negatives at each side of the dialectic. Let's say one side of the dialectic, there is self acceptance. And who out there doesn't want to find an experience? Self acceptance. It's a wonderful thing. We think we are more confident. We are less likely to be down on ourselves and to talk down to ourselves. If we're self accepting, we're not going to struggle as much or be as anxious or be as depressed if we're accepting of ourselves.” -Sasha Mejia Get the episode transcript here!
