I have to say that the Power of Branding has been the most
personal of the books that I have read thus far. Author Tony Sinanis talked
about many tips and ideas for school to brand itself. Three of the ways or very
important to me. One Tony mentioned is telling your schools story to from the
perception of your school. Another is leading by example. The last tip that
stood out to me was during things heartedly. On the other day we had a major
issue to take place outside of our school. Because of the toxic perception of
our school the incident was chalked up as an expected outcome. Tony Sinanis
that school’s should use the many resources available to share the learning
experiences that are taking place within the school on a daily basis. Tony also
mentioned that he ensures that he is visible in the classroom, lunchroom,
recess, gym, and hallways. He talks about how he try to know each of the
students by name and know something about each of the staff members personally.
It is my opinion that Tony is modeling for his teachers exactly what differentiated
instructions should look like. That why he is able to say he try to lead by
example. He talked about how it is an expectation that each teacher use small
groups as often as possible within they’re classroom. In my opinion he has
already laid the ground work for what differentiated instructions should look
like. The last point is about doing thing heartedly. Giving that I am a man of
faith and whatever I do I try and to it as if I was doing it for my lord. Tony
mentioned that most of his idea about doing things heartedly is theoretical
opposed to quantitative data, meaning that he does not have lots of research to
back him up. That was shocking for me to hear with our data driven profession
that someone is actual living exactly what they are teaching.
