It's amazing how much dysfunction is ingrained in our classrooms, schools, and the education system itself. Much of it is so prevalent that we have resigned ourselves to accept it as reality. We can do better. Effective educators identify normalized dysfunction in their classrooms and then take steps to begin eliminating it. For things we can't completely control, we advocate for change and focus on leading by example.
