What Jimmy did — once a month; every month
He built trust in his high school community — the coin of the realm!
Here’s vignette # 4: What Jimmy did once a month, every month
This set of vignettes is all about TRUST — how to build it, how we need it in schools (and everywhere), how to spot and avoid distrust, etc., etc.
I’ve gathered these vignettes –short, very short stories — over the years from my clients, colleagues, famous people whom I don’t know personally, my own experience, passers-by. You get the picture.
Just call me the “Trust Lady” — after more than 50 years in public education — as a teacher, hearing officer, school attorney, author of 8 books, including Special Education 2.0 and many opinion pieces, including in The Wall Street Journal, Education Week, and other publications, even a traveling salesperson for educational materials, a speaker, reformer, parent, and grandparent, I’ve come to understand that TRUST is, too often, the missing piece in our schools, in our quest for excellent education for all students.
