Exciting Day at the Des Moines County Educator Conference! 🚀
Today, October 31, 2025, we at Mediapolis Community Schools had the incredible opportunity to join forces with four other forward-thinking Iowa districts at the Des Moines County Educator Conference. What a powerhouse gathering!
We dove deep into transformative strategies with the one and only Dr. Anthony Muhammad, renowned expert on school culture and author of *Transforming School Culture*. His session on "Cultures Built to Last" hit home—reminding us that fostering enduring, positive environments isn't just nice-to-have; it's the foundation for student success, teacher fulfillment, and schools that thrive for generations.
Key takeaways?
- Identify your school's: Believers, Fundamentalists, Tweeners, and Survivors—then build bridges to unite them.
- Prioritize relationships: Real change starts with trust, not mandates.
- Sustain the vision: Cultures that last invest in ongoing reflection and growth.
Grateful for the collaboration and inspired to bring these insights back to our Bulldog family. Here's to schools where every kid feels seen, every educator feels supported, and every day builds toward a brighter future! 💪📚
