Ever wonder what it takes to build a resilient and effective educational system? Join us for an enlightening conversation with Christine Hunt, a seasoned educator with 28 years of experience in our district, as we journey through her personal experiences, challenges, and rewarding moments. She enlightens us on her 'why' for choosing education as a career, a passion ignited by an influential third grade teacher, and her 'AHA moment' when she realized the pivotal role of student-teacher relationships in fostering success.
As we navigate through Christine's journey, we tackle the challenging task she faced when two schools in our district merged. Imagine merging two distinct behavior systems into one, sounds daunting, right? But our guest walks us through how they successfully created a unified behavior philosophy, implemented the Pelham behavior system, introduced 'Love and Logic' and even made 'Fun Fridays' a tradition. Get a first-hand understanding of how these intentional changes can transform a school's behavior management approach.
Yet, all these changes would be futile without teacher buy-in, right? Christine paints a vivid picture of how a consistent program, born out of a year of discontentment, resulted in teachers being more open to change. We discuss how this unity led to the creation of a unique framework for the district, strengthening relationships between teachers and administrators. We also unravel the process of setting up expectations and common goals, ensuring they are not just understood, but followed. Prepare to be inspired by how this collective effort resulted in an expectation of consistency across the entire school. Don't miss this powerful conversation, packed with practical insights and personal experiences!
