## Resource

Back in the summer of 2021, one of my daughters was driving a Chevy CRUZE with over 110,000 miles on the odometer. She needed to trade it in and get a more updated used car, with less miles on it. We found a car that she liked and got a car wash on the way to the used car lot. We vacuumed the inside and even paid extra to get the shiny stuff sprayed on the tires. It looked great! Unfortunately, on our drive to the used car lot, the check engine lights started coming on, one by one. Our dream of getting good value for a trade literally went up in the smoke coming from the engine. I had to use my best negotiating skills just to get the salesman to take the car off our hands.  My daughter’s car looked great on the outside, but the check engine lights were indicators that all was not well on the inside. The word indicator means: “a small, measurable behavior that reveals the health of the larger system.” What are the “indicators” of your school’s culture? What do those indicators say about the health of your school’s culture? On today’s episode of The Private School Leader Podcast, we are going to discuss The 3 Biggest Indicators Of A Healthy Culture And How To Get Them At Your School. I hope that you will listen to the podcast for your weekly dose of motivation, inspiration and PD. Thanks so much for listening and thanks for making a difference!
