With many school districts dedicating concentrated time to drafting their vision and mission statements, more time should instead be spent on crafting their belief statements. Vision and mission statements focus on the “what” and “where” but not the “why” that describes behaviors and practices that will serve our children and their teachers well every day. I wanted to end Season 3 of Schoolutions® by sharing my belief statements (my “why”) and offering some thoughts to leave you inspired heading into summer 2024. Stay tuned for Season 4 of Schoolutions®, releasing on September 9, 2024. Until then, catch up on episodes and get inspired this summer by subscribing to my Schoolutions® Podcast YouTube Channel. Take care -❤️ Olivia
