Period! Leaders often forget that they have the power to make or break the system and it all depends on how much and what kind of behaviour they allow for in the organisation. #workplaceculture #leadership #leadersoftoday

Thanks for sharing this article on how budget challenges are prevalent in nearly every district across the State due to a variety of factors. While the State needs to further address fully funding education in the next biennium budget, district administrators also need to think creatively with how to continue to serve students with fewer resources. I believe that AI in general, and some new Microsoft tools in particular, could help administrators, teachers and staff with creating efficiencies, while still focusing on students. For example, Microsoft's Reading Coach https://lnkd.in/gfAP4Uaa is a accelerator tool that can help teachers differentiate their instruction and support for striving readers. And, Microsoft's productivity boosters like Generate Rubrics and Generate Classwork seem like game-changers! Check out this blog for more ideas on how educators to maximize resources, and better serve our students. https://lnkd.in/gX2eXiRr #AI #Microsofteducation
