In the end it's up to you to help your students succeed. Be the model, mentor, and monitor of the Intelligent Heart, the EduPreneurial Spirit, and the successful person you want your students to follow. You're not in this alone, you are a part of an organization that is changing lives, embrace it! Work with your co-workers in the organization and help the sch
Negativity can spread like cancer. I always say, "Stop your STINKIN THINKIN". I enjoyed the reminder of the WANT TO, AND THE HAVE TO....Great reminder.
Poor culture will carry over to the students.
As a University Academic Advisor, it is crucial to understand the organizational culture in order to create a supportive and successful environment. The culture of the institution directly influences how we interact with students and relate to other departments. Establishing a shared vision among students, staff, and faculty is essential to align efforts toward common goals, such as academic success. Teamwork is key, as collaboration between academic staff, administration, and students creates an inclusive and enriching environment. For this to work, it is essential to stop negativity, promoting a positive and solution-oriented attitude that helps students move forward. Additionally, as an Academic Advisor, we must leverage intelligent hearts, recognizing the emotional potential of students and helping them connect with their passions. Finally, it is vital to encourage students to "want" to learn and grow, rather than imposing the "have to". This approach allows them to take control of their education and be more committed to their academic future.
It takes a village to raise a child, and a whole organization to graduate a student.
Working in a team which shares the same vision is really important to create organizational culture.
We are in the people business. The mission of the organization needs to be worked on by all who are employed by the school. The true Intelligent Heart understands that and wants to help the students and the school to succeed.
I think individuals in education should have the attitude of "want to" instead of "have to"
Team Work is the key to a successful classroom, work environment.
5 minutes of a bad day can ruin the whole day. Try to turn that into a positive.
I learned/relearned to ask students what it is we can improve on. because, how can we improve if we don't know how to.
I learned the value of aligning personal motivation with the overall mission of our school. Success doesn’t happen by accident, it comes from everyone working together, aiming for the same target, and embracing a shared vision. The idea of "Want To" vs. "Have To" really stood out to me. When we see our responsibilities as things we want to do, rather than things we have to do, it shifts our mindset and allows us to bring more energy and positivity to our work. We choose to do these things.
I apply this by considering how my attitude affects both the students and my co-workers. Whether I’m teaching a lesson or collaborating with one of our other departments, I focus on how I can contribute to our school's shared goal of empowering our student to succeed. I also model the "Intelligent Heart" by making sure that I’m always thinking about why I’m in this field and how I can help shape the students’ lives for the better.
By focusing on positive outcomes, reducing negativity, and working with an “I want to” mindset, I choose to create a more supportive and successful environment for both the students and the school as a whole.
organizational culture is an environment where all team members motivate students to succeed. Students become surrounded by coaches and mentors who create an environment where students are supported, and students believe they can be successful.
Knowing the goal of your organization is critical. To make a difference having the the organizational goals in mind helps to bring forth the vision as a whole.
If everyone on the boat is not rowing in the same direction, you will not be able to go in the same direction.
Positive attitude goes a long way when it comes to working with students and it all starts from the Leaders of the school. Negativity and sarcasm should not be happening among departments. Every department should focus on giving student a positive experience by working together.
Negativity will happen but how do you combat it? You have to accept it first but keep moving forward.
People will always remember how people treat them. So, keeping a positive attitude at all times will make a major difference.
