    The Ruckus Report Quick take: The most dangerous myth in school leadership is that problems will eventually stop. Jennifer Schwanke reveals how embracing challenges and shifting from "trustworthy" to "trust willing" transforms toxic school cultures into thriving communities. Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Jennifer Schwanke, Ed.D., brings nearly three decades of experience to the field of education, having served as both a teacher and leader across all levels. She is a published author with ASCD, including four current books and a forthcoming fifth title, "Trusted: Trust Pillars, Trust Killers, and the Secret to Successful Schools," expected in the summer of 2025. In addition to her books, Jennifer has contributed hundreds of articles to numerous educational publications. She is actively involved in professional development, offering her expertise to school districts in areas such as school climate, personnel management, and instructional leadership. She is also a frequent presenter at major educational conferences, including those hosted by ASCD, NAESP, NASSP, AASA, and various state and national organizations. Jennifer shares her insights as the co-host of the widely listened-to "Principal Matters" podcast and as an instructor in educational administration at The Ohio State University. Currently, Dr. Schwanke serves as a Deputy Superintendent in Ohio. Breaking Down the Old Rules 🔨 In this episode, Jennifer Schwanke challenges traditional education paradigms: Key Insight #1: Problems Are Life, Not Obstacles What's broken: Leaders waiting for a stress-free summit where all problems disappearThe shift: Embrace problems as opportunities to do meaningful work and stay sharpImpact: Leaders stop burning out waiting for calm seas and start building resilience through challenge Key Insight #2: Trust Willing vs. Trustworthy Leadership What's broken: Focusing only on being trustworthy while micromanaging and speaking in deficit language about staff and studentsThe shift: Become "trust willing" by believing in your people, letting them do their trained work, and focusing on your zone of influenceImpact: Collective efficacy emerges as teams believe their daily work actually matters and makes a difference Key Insight #3: Lead Around the 2% What's broken: Spending 98% of energy on the 2% of toxic people who will never changeThe shift: Set clear boundaries professionally, then invest energy in the majority who want to do good workImpact: The 98% gain respect and momentum while toxic behaviors lose their power to derail the mission Quotable Ruckus "When you run out of problems, you're dead. You want problems to come because you want to solve them, because not only does that keep you alive and sharp, but it allows you to do the good you want in the world." – Jennifer Schwanke Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas?

  • Mentorship and Modernization: Building Schools for the Future

    Mentorship and Modernization: Building Schools for the Future
    2025/08/06
    The Ruckus Report Quick take: Student voice isn't just nice to have—it's the missing ingredient in creating schools worth showing up for. Casey Wright proves that when you design with students instead of around them, everything from panini lines to classroom layouts becomes a catalyst for engagement. Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Casey Wright has served as an educational leader in Illinois high school districts for 30 years. He began his career teaching social studies at Rolling Meadows High School while coaching girls track and boys basketball. After spending 12 years at Highland Park High School as an administrator, Casey is currently an Associate Principal at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, Illinois. With a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction from National-Louis University and a Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies Education from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Casey is also a member of the Illinois Association of School Business Officials. Breaking Down the Old Rules 🔨 In this episode, Casey Wright challenges traditional education paradigms: Key Insight #1: Students Are Your Best Design Consultants What's broken: Adults making assumptions about what students want and need in their learning environmentThe shift: Regularly convening student committees to provide direct input on everything from food service to classroom furnitureImpact: Higher engagement, better attendance, and solutions that actually work (like shawarma bowls and flexible seating options) Key Insight #2: Physical Space Shapes Learning Dynamics What's broken: Static "lion cage" classrooms with bolted-down furniture that prioritize institutional control over collaborative learningThe shift: Flexible, mobile furniture and no permanent "front" of the room, allowing fluid movement and dynamic instructionImpact: Teachers become facilitators instead of dispensers, students collaborate naturally, and learning becomes interactive Key Insight #3: Mentorship Multiplies Leadership Impact What's broken: Leaders trying to figure everything out alone without seeking wisdom from experienced mentorsThe shift: Building long-term mentoring relationships that focus on caring for people first, competence secondImpact: Sustained leadership growth, authentic connections with students and staff, and career-long learning partnerships Quotable Ruckus "Students don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." – Casey Wright Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas? Start here: Tomorrow: Walk through your building and count how many spaces were designed with student input versus adult assumptions This Month: Convene a student advisory committee to get feedback on one specific aspect of your school experience (food, spaces, policies) This Semester: Pilot flexible learning spaces in 2-3 classrooms, involving both teachers and students in the design process Connect & Continue 🔗 Follow Casey Wright: Casey is an Associate Principal at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, Illinois 📌 Ruckus Makers Don't Just Listen — They Act If education ain't a bit disruptive, then what are your students really learning?

  • How School Leaders Can Reclaim Their Time and Lead on Their Own Terms

    How School Leaders Can Reclaim Their Time and Lead on Their Own Terms
    2025/08/04

    Most principals feel like they're doing everything right — but something still feels wrong. That’s not a personal failure. It’s proof you’re playing someone else’s game. In this episode, Danny Bauer invites school leaders to stop following broken rules and start authoring their own.

    Breaking Down the Old Rules 🔨

    Key Insight #1
    What’s broken: School leaders can’t name the rules of the game they’re playing.
    The shift: Define success on your own terms — and write your own rules.
    Impact: Clarity, confidence, and control over what truly matters.

    Key Insight #2
    What’s broken: Leaders fill their calendars with others' priorities.
    The shift: Use intentional scheduling to create space for high-value work.
    Impact: More energy, focus, and results that actually move the needle.

    Key Insight #3
    What’s broken: Traditional PD ignores the emotional, practical, and systemic traps leaders face.
    The shift: Join a community-led, mentor-supported journey to reclaim your leadership.
    Impact: Massive mindset shifts and sustainable campus-wide results — all in just 8 weeks.

    Quotable Ruckus
