About Transparency, Collective Efficacy and Change 




  • About Transparency:


  1. "Transparency creates trust and inspires others." 
  2. "Transparency is the number one bucket filler on the change matrix."
  3. "Be transparent about change."
  • About Collective Efficacy:


  1. "A celebration of success is the number one mover of collective efficacy."
  2. "Nothing builds collective efficacy faster than evidence that something is working."
  • About Change:


  1. "We are agents of change. We're change-makers. We change people for a living."
  2. "Start each school year asking: 'Where do we want to go? '  Be transparent about change."
  3. "Leading change is like a rubber band ... when you feel the tension, you know it's working!"

Por Déborah Martel-Rogers, Ed. D. Abraham Lincoln Jr. High 7th/8th Jefa de Departamento de Desarrollo del Idioma Inglés      Este mes de marzo, cuando los peques adultos de nuestra familia continúan trabajando en sus sueños universitarios, he decidido compartir contigo mi visión en calidad de Embajadora Educativa, una visión que compartí públicamente por primera vez en mi Másters en Administración Educativa por la Universidad Estatal de Bakersfield en el año 2017:       Quiero ayudar a crear un nuevo mundo, un mundo en el que las mentes, los corazones y las almas de nuestros estudiantes florezcan simultáneamente, tanto académica como socialmente; un mundo en el que cada estudiante conozca el significado de la palabra éxito, sin importar su condición socioeconómica, raza, género, origen nacional, etnicidad, o condición sexual; un mundo en el que nuestros estudiantes sepan que son la razón de nuestra existencia, y que estamos aquí para asegurarnos de que cada...

The contributions of the Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans, Puerto Rican Americans, Colombian Americans, Venezuelan Americans, Peruvian Americans, Chilean Americans, Argentinian Americans, Spanish Americans, Ecuatorian Americans, Guatemalan Americans, Salvadorian Americans, Honduran Americans, Costa Rican Americans, Panamanian Americans, Paraguayan Americans, and Uruguayan Americans are significant in the gastronomical and musical spheres, indeed.
