Ways Ruckus Makers bring sticky core values to life:

-Weekly shout-out emails where staff name a colleague and the value they lived

-A plaque where names are added when someone lives out a value

-Artifacts outside classroom doors when someone is recognized

-Opening and closing every staff meeting with the values

-Using the values as language in hard conversations — not personal, but cultural

-Hiring conversations built around "what would this look like in your classroom?"

-The Brené Brown move: three examples of the value lived, three where you fell short

Culture isn't what's on the wall. It's what's in the room.
