 Something Personal 

I currently have the pleasure of co-leading a book study with the extended cabinet based on the book Radical Candor. Although this book has a heavy emphasis on leadership roles and how radical candor becomes a useful tool to communicate as a supervisor, there is a ton of carry over to the work we do with one another, as well as how we communicate in general with our students, our families, and one another. 

The book breaks down four types of communication: 

Radical candor (a warm demander would use radical candor, no??), which is the goal when communicating, occurs when you have a lot of care for the other person, and you intentionally make a lot of emotional deposits, but you can also be honest and direct regarding what you need. When you have to challenge, you are honest yet never make it personal. 

To learn more about radical candor, check out the video below: 

I'd encourage you to chew on this idea and consider what radical candor might look like within your job.

From Office of Instruction

Interventionists will begin putting goals and progress monitoring data for some students into e-doctrina.  This will trigger emails to those associated in IC with those students.  Attached is a tip sheet for how teachers can set up a rule in their email to automatically route the eDoctrina notification emails to an email folder set up for this purpose. This would keep the emails from cluttering anyone's inbox but would also make them available to teachers who have the student on their roster.
