Brown reframes our understanding of Black education during Jim Crow and offers a compelling vision for nurturing students through ecosystems of care. 🤝 Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Dr. Karida L.

What's broken: The myth that schools can be politically or culturally neutral.The shift: Acknowledge that education operates within a social context — and choose to humanize, not homogenize.Impact: Creates space for students' full identities and lived experiences to be seen, respected, and affirmed. 🧠 Key Insight #2: Teaching was once a radical act of love. And it can be again. What's broken: Emphasis on compliance, test prep, and disconnected pedagogy.The shift: Look to the Black teachers of the Jim Crow era, who taught with deep care and high expectations.Impact: Reignites student pride, dignity, and purpose — and helps staff reclaim meaning in their work. 🧠 Key Insight #3: The hidden curriculum still shapes student success. What's broken: Assuming equity exists because students share a classroom.The shift: Recognize and dismantle invisible systems of advantage and disadvantage.Impact: Equips students from all backgrounds to navigate — and transform — institutional structures. 💬 Quotable Ruckus "Walk these halls like somebody fought like hell for you to be here." — Dr. Karida Brown 📈 Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas?

  • Stop Asking "What Do I Do?" and Start Asking "Who Am I?" — with Dr. Chad Dumas

    Stop Asking "What Do I Do?" and Start Asking "Who Am I?" — with Dr. Chad Dumas
    Nov 5 2025
    📣 The Ruckus Report Quick take: Most leaders ask the wrong question. They obsess over what to do next instead of who they're becoming. In this episode, Dr. Chad Dumas unpacks how self-awareness, non-verbal cues, and intentional presence shape your entire school culture before a single decision is made. 🎓 Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Dr. Chad Dumas is an international consultant, author, and award-winning researcher who helps educators build capacity for self, team, and system improvement. A former teacher, principal, and central office administrator, he's the author of Let's Put the C in PLC, An Action Guide to Put the C in PLC, and The Teacher Team Leader Handbook. 🔨 Breaking Down the Old Rules In this episode, Danny Bauer and Dr. Chad Dumas dive deep into the inner work required to lead effectively. They challenge the surface-level "what do I do?" mentality and replace it with a leadership identity rooted in humility, empathy, and self-awareness. 🧠 Key Insight #1: Start with Who, Not What What's broken: Leaders jump straight to tactics — constantly asking, "What do I do?"The shift: Begin with who you are as a person and a leader. Your mindset, humility, and assumptions shape every result that follows.Impact: When leaders ground their actions in identity, they build trust, clarity, and authentic connection across their schools. 🧠 Key Insight #2: Leadership Speaks Before You Do What's broken: Non-verbal cues are ignored — rushed meetings, shallow breathing, and reactive tones quietly erode safety and collaboration.The shift: Master the pause, breathe deeply, and use intentional body language that communicates calm, curiosity, and respect.Impact: The culture shifts from tense to trusting. People start showing up with ideas because they feel seen and safe. 🧠 Key Insight #3: Conflict Is a Catalyst — Not a Threat What's broken: Leaders avoid hard conversations, turning tension into silence or resentment.The shift: Reframe conflict as a space for growth. Separate the person from the problem, focus on shared goals, and invite multiple perspectives.Impact: Teams move from defensiveness to collaboration. The best ideas emerge, and relationships deepen through honest dialogue. 💬 Quotable Ruckus "It's not about the do. It's about the who. Who you are as a person and as a leader — that's where everything starts." — Dr. Chad Dumas 📈 Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas? Start here: Tomorrow: Before your next meeting, take one deep breath and pause before you speak. Notice how it changes the tone. This Month: Identify one assumption you hold about your staff that might not serve you. Replace it with the belief that they're doing their best. This Semester: Build time for reflection into your team meetings. Make space for silence, processing, and joy. 🔗 Connect & Continue 🎯 Get the full episode transcript here 🔗 Follow Dr. Chad Dumas: Website, YouTube, Twitter/X, Facebook, LinkedIn 📌 Ruckus Makers Don't Just Listen — They Act If education ain't a bit disruptive, then what are your students really learning?
