Value-based language
Crafting action-oriented statements shifting the emphasis from the programs or services you provide to the families you affect.
I provide high interest reading material and individualized reader’s advisory for more than a thousand students, many of whom are struggling with generational poverty and don’t have access to print for literacy practice at home.
I ensure that everyone’s iPads are working properly so the teachers can receive immediate feedback on individual student mastery of content area standards, taking advantage of the district’s investment in infrastructure and hardware.

Practical advice for dealing with “the man”
Avoid acronyms and professional jargon
Set up meeting with busy decision-makers well in advance
Plan for limited time, schedule conflicts
Issue invitations
Have a specific “ask”
Offer support for those who help you
Write thank-you notes
For those in youth services, bring kids!
