The expectations others have of us, or even those expectations we have of ourselves, may be realistic or unrealistic. However, much of what upsets us is outside of our control. Losing control can feel uncomfortable at times, yet holding onto a sense of failure and unrealistic expectation can be damaging to our health and wellbeing.
If you have tried your best to resolve a difficult situation and cannot do anything else, can you acknowledge your best efforts? Can you acknowledge that it is outside of your control? Consider to whom you need to communicate this, and how.
P-I-E-W Capacity Planning Framework - Empowering School Leaders through Prioritising
PIEW is a strategic approach to managing school improvement planning using the school self-evaluation (SSE), School Improvement (SIP), and DEIS planning processes.
It empowers school leaders by providing them with a means of managing expectations. It is a structured framework that facilitates collaborative discussion, using the SSE process, to identify the priorities that will significantly impact teaching and learning while also managing staff capacity for further change.
PIEW supports school leaders to control and manage the flow of initiatives into the school by:
