Impact of Educational Leadership Episode 195 Hosted by: I. D. III for Isaiah Drone III Dawn Witte| Karl Berry | Shawania Marshall | Buddy Thornton | Role Modeling Better Faster Rethink the role of CEOs and role models. COVID-19 has brought a fundamental change in leadership in many organizations. The stand-out role models have shifted from directing a command-and-control crisis response to building and unleashing winning teams. A role model is a behavior others may emulate or admire because they're efficient or skilled. It would be best to model this behavior when creating visions and implementing plans against the goals. Students should know good teacher models by the way they present their lesson's objectives to take accountability for their learning. Role models must identify how the students will show mastery and how it will be measured. Knowing their skills, comfort level, and proficiency can help determine the professional development required to keep their competitive edge. Start at the end with the final goal or objective. You'll identify what the students will learn or be able to do. Leaders must oversee the goals for development identified, what professional development is considered, and the goal state of the person doing the role modeling.

Karl Berry: Why do children from low socioeconomically disadvantaged communities lack positive role models, unlike in the past? Buddy Thornton: What are the myths and realities about perception and miscommunication regarding expressing the importance of student and teacher support equity? Shawania Marshall: How can public school leaders meet teachers where they are instead of giving expectations too far from their reach? Dawn Witte: How can we plan, practice, and follow up good teaching strategies that are both equitable and culturally responsive?
