Moving towards High Expectations
“High expectations are the key to everything.” - Sam Walton
Why do you think this is true?
![Page 4: Career and College Readiness](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110214/5681643c550346895dd6079f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
And then….“I don’t have high expectations anymore. Maybe they’ve just been beaten out of me.” -Actress Elisabeth Shue
Why do you think this is true? How does that happen?

What it Means to Us Without an education, where can our kids go? With only a high school education, where can they go? Why is college important? Why is career ready equally as important?
We ALL own K-12 education for OUR studentsWe ALL own OUR achievement gapsWe ALL own poor performance in OUR ____ gradeWe ALL own poor performance on OUR ACT scores
Do your faculties truly believe these statements?

A 10,000 Foot View of Our Schools We have “bless your heart” schools. That is not necessarily a bad thing. It shows
compassion. It’s ok to pat our kids on the back, but let’s push
them while our hand is back there too! We don’t want to love them into stupidity and
mediocrity.

Our Model What’s working? What’s not?
Are IFs involved and active in classrooms? Are IFs providing district and school mandated staff
development? Are we doing CWTs consistently and using data to
improve instruction? Are we carrying out the model with high fidelity?
Or, are parts of it failing because we have low expectations for staff and students?

The Victim Mentality Educators have a victim mentality, especially
right now. I agree that this feeling is not totally misplaced. But, we can not make victims of our children
because of what is happening in Raleigh. We can not make victims of our children because
WE don’t think they can do the work to be exceptional.
The adults are victimizing kids when we set low expectations!

The Apple Advantage – Disruptive Innovation
"Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.“ – Steve Jobs
Can your people do the work that is needed?Can you lead them in accomplishing this work?Do they get “it”?

A real-world high expectations example.

From that, to this…
What happens to kids from kindergarten to that time they start not liking school?
We do.

The Change We Need The change we need starts with setting high
expectations. It starts with all of us being engaged and serious
about this process.
I’m sure glad the hole isn’t in our end.

The Problem with Market Leaders
Market leaders are the last to transform. They do not keep up, pay attention, and realize
there is a problem until it is often too late.

but on building the new.” - Socrates

Summary Let’s build those relationships and set high
expectations for ALL students. Let’s do the work with high fidelity so THEY can
accomplish amazing results. Growth is great, but we are better than below the
state average! Every kid deserves a champion!
