  6. The Elephant and the Rider Analogy • Our emotional side is the elephant. -The Elephant must make an emotional connection because just knowing something isn’t enough to cause change. -The elephant must feel something -Needs clear milestones to celebrate • Our rational side is the rider. -The Rider holds the reins and seems to be the leader. -But, the Rider’s control is precarious. -If the rider and elephant disagree about which direction to go, the Rider will lose. -Points to the destination and sets clear steps.

  7. To Bring About Change 1. Direct the Rider -focus on our successes -Script the critical steps clear and know where you are going! -Point to the destination 2. Motivate the Elephant -Make an emotional connection -Break down the change until it no longer spooks the elephant. 3. Shape the Path -Tweak the environment. -know how to get to the destination.

  10. QZABQualified Zone Academy Bond Where did this idea come From? Was looking at a Plant Facility Levy

  11. What is a QZAB • Funding set aside by congress for each state. • A funding resource with zero interest. • Can only be used for renovation, energy, technology, curriculum, professional development, and equipment. • Must implement a qualified zone academy for schools benefiting from QZAB. • Must provide a 10% match. • A 1M -2M bond would provide low tax impact with 0% interest.

  12. Plans for the New Funding • Renovate/replace roof on high school gym • Provide energy efficient HVAC system at high school gym • Renovate high school track, stadium, and parking lots • Technology/school classroom updates • Asphalt parking lots.

  13. Idaho Core StandardsPerhaps the Most Challenging Change of all! ELA Shifts (for all teachers) Math Shifts Focus strongly where the standards focus Coherence: think across grades, and link to major topics Rigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding procedural, skill and fluency, and application • Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction • Reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational • Regular practice with complex text and its academic language

  16. Remember the 5 S’s !!!!!By Jamie Vollmer • STOP- It is essential to stop any negative comments about our schools in public. • SHIFT- This emphasizes the necessity of shifting from the negative to the positive. • SHARE- We have so many success stories taking place in each of our schools, so we must share the positive. • SUSTAIN- This simply refers to sustaining our positive efforts with the community. • START- Start right now!!
