Recalibrate The Culture
by Jimmy Casas
Jimmy Casas, award-winning principal and author of the best-selling books Culturize and Live Your Excellence, reminds educators in Recalibrate the Culture that we are all responsible for the climate and culture of our school and district campuses and that changing any culture starts with small steps across all levels – classroom, building, and the district office. This Action Guide is a tool intended to help us take an honest look at our culture in order to help us shift away from pointing the finger and blaming others. Instead, Jimmy reminds us to examine our own behaviors to see how we often create the negative undercurrents that exist in our organizations.

Recalibrate the Culture
Do you leave work every night exhausted from putting out fires all day long? Are you frustrated because you find yourself dealing with the same issues time and time again? You are not alone.
It is time to recalibrate. Recalibrate our why. Our work. Our values. Ourselves. Educators must explore their inner selves to understand the role we each play in how we can impact the climate and culture of an entire campus when we are strategic and aligned in our practices. The classroom, building, and district levels must see themselves as one and must be intentional in replicating their processes, protocols, and frameworks to recalibrate and bring about system-wide change and cultivate a healthier culture. Participants will leave this session with a renewed understanding of the importance of effective processes and practical tools they can utilize immediately to cultivate a healthier culture for all members of their school community.
