Transcript of Think Title 1 is Boring? Think Again. pdf Part 1 for ACET 4.11.12

Presentation Notes
Here’s the deal our parents signed up for: Our world is filled with factories. Factories that make widgets and insurance and websites, factories that make movies and take care of sick people and answer the telephone. These factories need workers. If you learn how to be one of these workers, if you pay attention in school, follow instructions, show up on time, and try hard, we will take care of you. We will pay you a lot of money, give you health insurance, and offer you job security. It was the American Dream. It worked.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
But in the face of competition and technology, the bargain has fallen apart. Job growth is flat at best. Wages in many industries are in a negative cycle. The middle class is under siege like never before, and the future appears dismal. People are no longer being taken care of—pensions are gone; 401(k)s have been sliced in half; and it’s hard to see where to go from here. It’s futile to work hard at restoring the take-care-of-you bargain. The bargain is gone and it’s not worth whining about and it’s not effective to complain. There’s a new bargain now, one that leverages talent and creativity and art more than it rewards obedience.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Do you remember the old American Dream?
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Keep your head down. Follow instructions. Show up on time. Work hard. Suck it up. …you will be rewarded.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
That dream is over.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The new American Dream is this: Be remarkable. Be generous. Create art. Make judgment calls. Connect people and idea. …and we have no choice to reward you.

Imagine a stack of 400 quarters. Each quarter represents 250 years of human culture, and the entire stack signifies the 100,000 years we’ve had organized human tribes. Take the top quarter off the stack. This one quarter represents how many years our society has revolved around factories and jobs and the world as we see it. The other 399 coins stand for a very different view of commerce, economy, and culture.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Most white-collar workers wear white collars, but they’re still working in the factory. They push a pencil or process an application or type on a keyboard instead of operating a [machine]. The white-collar job was supposed to save the middle class, because it was machine-proof. Of course, machines have replaced those workers. If we can measure it, we can do it faster. If we can put it in a manual, we can outsource it. If we can outsource it, we can get it cheaper.

Presentation Notes
The new form of marketing is leadership, and leadership is about building tribes and connecting tribes of like-minded people.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Of course, we’ve always had tribes. Mostly 3: a church…

…a job (one factory per town)…

…local tribe

The rodeo is a central gathering for one tribe.

While Rodeo (Drive) is the gathering point for another.

Presentation Notes
There’s a principals’ tribe, and a Federal Programs’ Directors’ tribe.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
For tens of thousands of years, our nomadic ways, small villages, and lack of transport kept the world small. The key unit of tribal measures was the village or the nomadic tribe. When our community got too big, it split and people moved on—we needed to know the people in our tribe, and since we couldn’t process more than 150 people, we divided. We had a brotherhood, an extended family, people who watched our back, helped us succeed, and did business with us.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Technology (travel, communication, and manufactured goods) meant that a few thousand years ago, a great leap of productivity was ready to occur. This leap could only occur if we had more people to trade with, more people to hire and interact with. We could make the leap if we were able to make the world bigger. This need to make the world bigger, though, conflicted with our cultural and biological desire to keep the world small.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
A lot of the stress we feel in the modern world comes from this conflict between the small world in which we’re wired to exist and the large world we use to make a living.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The biblical proscription against usury goes all the way back to Moses. The rule was simple: you couldn’t charge interest on a loan to anyone in your tribe. Strangers, on the other hand, paid interest.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Protestant Reformation permitted the explosion of commerce that led to the world we live in now. Commercial interests supported its spread because they needed the moral authority to lend and borrow money.
The merchant has no
homeland.
Which 20 can we rake from the rubbish?
Presenter
Presentation Notes
As Thomas Jefferson wrote, it created a world where “the merchant has no homeland.” If everyone was a stranger, then we can charge for things that used to be gifts.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The ban on usury was refined, double-talked, and eventually eliminated. The money flowed, investments were made, business grew, and productivity soared. People could view every transaction as a chance to lend or make money because they were independent agents. Everyone became a businessman, a borrower, or a lender.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
For the last 500 years, the best way to succeed has been to treat everyone as a stranger you do business with. We’ve abandoned the idea of a village as a tribe. Instead, we’re left with the tribe of our birth family and the tribe at work. Human beings have a need for a tribe, but the makeup of that tribe has changed, probably forever. Now, the tribe is composed of our coworkers or our best customers, not only our family or our village or religious group. The best professional entanglements aren’t with strangers; they are with the tribe.
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Tribe members are family, and we shouldn’t be charging them interest! Tighter bonds produce better results, and so the gift culture returns. Full circle, from gift to usury and back to gift. A loan without interest is a gift. A gift brings tribe members closer together.
TEA’s view of district and campus improvement plans: Is this a living, breathing document? Are time lines established? Are goals realistic/attainable? Are activities high quality? Are objectives measurable? Is the evaluation system related to the measurable objectives and then to the goals? Do the goals and objectives of the campus plan relate to the district goals?
Presenter
Presentation Notes
But, let’s pause for a moment before we begin.

Free & Reduced Lunch Percentages Comparing 2010-11 to 2011-12 May be eligible for T1 funds if over 40%; May be eligible for Targeted Assistance T1 funds if over 35% Note: Only elementary and middle schools are funded with Title 1 dollars in Denton ISD)
Presenter
Presentation Notes
There is a common misconception about Title campuses. When additional campuses are added, federal funding does NOT increase. The pie is divided amongst more campuses. It would be the same as having 12 kids over at your house sharing a pizza together. Each kid gets 1 slide of a 12-slice pizza. But, if 3 kids show up at the door, you have to take the 12 slides back (before they eat them), and slide it 15 ways.
