Do we celebrate our successes enough? What does celebration of success lead to? What is the barometer of success? Is the perception of success enough to continue to be successful?
Pygmalion Effect … Self-fulfilling Prophecy! Do we become what we think we should be?
If we do self-fulfill, then as educators, we must raise the bar of expectations within our schools. During our start up, we spoke of mission statements, school codes and school goals; it’s now time to develop and commit to a shared vision of success.
We must find a way to agree on what makes a school a success. The collective strength will provide the impetus to move forward. The challenge is to find what success looks like in our school. We cannot look at our past as a means to measure where to go. We need to collectively evaluate what is needed for tomorrow.
If we work to celebrate our successes, only then will we recognize and know that we are successful and thus continue to fulfill the prophecy!
