Good Intentions
The world is littered with good intentions. Everyone intends to do things better or to have a positive impact on kids. Intentions are great, but they are just the first step that must be followed by action.
When teams promise families that interventions will be done, or that communication will happen, or that an issue will be taken care of, and fail to follow through, it chips away at the trust that the family has in our schools. Not only that, but we also lose out on an opportunity to make things better for a student. For some students, we don’t have time to waste on broken promises.
We must rise above intentions that we will be better and move to the action of doing better.
