  • Punching the Shark: Why Teacher Retention Beats Recruitment Every Time

    Punching the Shark: Why Teacher Retention Beats Recruitment Every Time
    2025/06/18
    The Ruckus Report Quick take: Most districts are dumping water into leaky buckets while wondering why they can't fill them. Nate Eklund shows us why we've been solving the wrong problem — and how "punching the shark" creates the workplace conditions that make educators want to stay. Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Nate Eklund is the founder and CEO of Vital Network, a national organization focused on improving educator retention and well-being through workplace improvements. A former classroom teacher and author of How Was Your Day at School? Improving Dialogue about Teacher Job Satisfaction, Nate brings deep experience and research-backed insight to the conversation on creating sustainable, joyful workplaces for educators everywhere. Breaking Down the Old Rules 🔨 In this episode, Nate Eklund challenges traditional education paradigms: Key Insight #1: We Don't Have a Recruitment Problem — We Have a Retention Problem What's broken: Districts frantically recruiting new teachers while ignoring why good ones leave The shift: Focus on the "leaky bucket" — in Minnesota, there are more licensed teachers NOT teaching than teaching (enough to fill the Vikings stadium) Impact: When you fix workplace conditions instead of just hiring more people, you solve the math problem at its source Key Insight #2: Burnout Isn't a Personal Failing — It's Environmental What's broken: Treating burnout as individual weakness ("eat more kale, get more sleep") The shift: Recognize burnout as systemic depletion that no amount of self-care can overcome — you can't "kale your way out of your fifth reading curriculum in two years" Impact: Leaders stop blaming teachers and start designing better workplace conditions that prevent burnout Key Insight #3: There Are Two Versions of Every Educator What's broken: Accepting that some educators are just "difficult" or "burned out" The shift: Understanding that everyone has a "fired up" version and a "deflated" version — external factors determine which one shows up Impact: Instead of writing people off, leaders create conditions where the best version of every educator can thrive Quotable Ruckus "You can dump a lot of water into it and invest a lot of energy getting the water into the bucket, but if the bucket's leaking, you've got a fundamental math problem." – Nate Eklund Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas? Start here: Tomorrow: Ask yourself: "What external factors are keeping my best educators from showing up as their best selves?" This Month: Survey your staff about workplace conditions — not just morale, but actual day-to-day systems and decision-making processes This Semester: Implement one "Punch the Shark" moment — tackle an uncomfortable workplace issue head-on with your team Connect & Continue 🎯 Get the full episode transcript:here 🔗 Follow Nate Eklund: Twitter 🔗 Vital Network: www.vitalnetwork.com 🔗 Follow Vital on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/vitalnetwork 💪 Join the Ruckus Maker Movement: https://ruckusmakers.club/join Do you Subscribe to the Ruckus Maker Newsletter?

  • Building Culture That Goes Beyond the Wall

    Building Culture That Goes Beyond the Wall
    2025/06/15
    The Ruckus Report Quick take: If your school has beautiful values painted on the walls but nobody's living them, you're running a theater, not a school. Jimmy Casas exposes the brutal difference between what we say and what we do. Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Jimmy Casas has been an educator for over 30 years, serving twenty-two years as a school leader. Under his leadership, his school was named one of the Best High Schools in the country three times by Newsweek and US News & World Report. Jimmy was named the 2012 Iowa Secondary Principal of the Year and was selected as runner-up NASSP 2013 National Secondary Principal of the Year. In 2014, Jimmy was invited to the White House to speak on the Future Ready Schools pledge. Jimmy is also the author of ten books, including the Washington Post's best-selling book CULTURIZE: Every Student. Every Day. Whatever It Takes, which has sold over 350,000 copies to date. Jimmy is the owner and CEO of J Casas & Associates, where he and his team serve as professional leadership coaches for school and district leaders across the country. Breaking Down the Old Rules 🔨 In this episode, Jimmy Casas challenges traditional education paradigms: Key Insight #1: Systems Beat Inspiration Every Time What's broken: Unorganized leaders who scramble and make their teams scramble, destroying credibility and culture The shift: Create systematic approaches like the "summer list" and culturized journal to capture what needs attention without losing momentum Impact: Leaders stay organized, teams trust the process, and nothing falls through the cracks Key Insight #2: Culture Is Behavior, Not Posters What's broken: Schools with beautiful mission statements on walls but no observable evidence of those values in action The shift: Ask "When I walk into your classroom, what will I see that tells me you're building relationships with kids?" Impact: Intentional observation leads to measurable culture change and real student achievement Key Insight #3: Excellence Is Your Responsibility What's broken: Settling for average because it's easier and letting others pull you down to status quo The shift: Walk in every day believing you can make an impact and help others find their way back when they lose direction Impact: Leaders create environments where children look forward to class and adults look forward to work Quotable Ruckus "Don't let anybody take away your excellence because the world is full of average." – Jimmy Casas Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas? Start here: Tomorrow: Start a "summer list" with your team - every time something comes up that needs deeper attention, add it to the list instead of letting it consume your mental energy This Month: Pick one core value and define what you'll actually observe when you walk into classrooms - what will kids be doing? What will teachers be doing? This Semester: Create your own reflection system (journal, digital tool, or team process) to track meaningful experiences and undercurrents you're creating Connect & Continue 🎯 Get the full episode transcript:here 🔗 Follow Jimmy Casas: Jimmy Casas 💪 Join the Ruckus Maker Movement:here Do you Subscribe to the Ruckus Maker Newsletter?

  • Transforming Schools Through Teacher-Centered Leadership

    Transforming Schools Through Teacher-Centered Leadership
    2025/06/11
    The Ruckus Report Quick take: Most principals manage buildings instead of transforming lives. Dr. Chris Jones flips the script by putting teachers at the center of every decision, creating scheduling magic that serves everyone — and proves that embracing resistance makes you stronger. Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Chris Jones has been an educator in Massachusetts for 24 years. He is finishing his 16th year as a building administrator. He is a teacher centered Principal and passionate about continuous improvement and the idea that success is not a destination, but a process. Chris is the President of the Massachusetts State Administrators Association (MSAA) and was the Massachusetts School Counselors Association (MASCA) 2022 State Administrator of the Year. Chris is active on social media, vlogs about continuous improvement on a weekly basis, and hosts his own podcast called SEEing to Lead as a way to amplify teacher's voices in an effort to improve education as a whole promoting his "just cause": improving the educational experience for as many people as possible by being purposeful, acting with integrity, and building character. Breaking Down the Old Rules 🔨 In this episode, Dr. Chris Jones challenges traditional education paradigms: Key Insight #1: Schedules Should Serve People, Not Systems What's broken: Cookie-cutter schedules that ignore what teachers and students actually need The shift: Build schedules from scratch based on your values and vision — give teachers two preps, create rotating blocks that feel fresh, and add "WIN" time for individualized support Impact: Teachers report feeling more connected, less burned out, and students are more engaged because the day feels "slower" and more purposeful Key Insight #2: Resistance Is Your Design Partner What's broken: Seeing pushback as something to overcome or defeat The shift: Practice "kintsugi leadership" — break the old system completely, then rebuild it stronger using resistance as beautiful constraints that guide better solutions Impact: Dr. Jones' assistant principal solved complex scheduling problems in one day by "breaking it" first, and senior tardiness plummeted when they redesigned privileges around what students actually valued Key Insight #3: Schools Prepare Kids for the Past, Not the Future What's broken: Standardized practices that keep the past alive in the present for a future that no longer exists The shift: Individualize learning experiences, eliminate meaningless assessments like midterms/finals, and focus on what students need to be amazing Impact: Schools become places where learning matters more than grades, and students develop skills for jobs that don't even exist yet Quotable Ruckus "You can't just throw something at people and say, okay, what do you think? You have to help them along and guide them as to what part of what you think, what they think you want to hear about so that you can make adjustments to it." – Dr. Chris Jones Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas? Start here: Tomorrow: Ask your teachers one question: "What do you need to be amazing?" Then actually listen and take notes This Month: Identify one "sacred cow" practice (like midterms) that doesn't serve learning and plan to eliminate it This Semester: Practice kintsugi leadership on your biggest scheduling or systems challenge — break it completely and rebuild from your values Connect & Continue 🎯 Get the full episode transcript: link 🔗 Follow Dr. Chris Jones: Podcast | Website | Newsletter 💪 Join the Ruckus Maker Movement: https://ruckusmakers.club/join Do you Subscribe to the Ruckus Maker Newsletter?
