Things We Can Control

Recently, I was working with a principal at a historically underperforming school within an underperforming district. Here is what I learned:

I said to the principal that essentially there are things we can control in our schools and things we can't. All of the above mentioned are controllable. Things like student behavior we cannot necessarily control. My point was that the district/school needs to rectify these unnecessary issues if they wish to retain skilled teachers.
