My Kids Can't; the 1 phrase killing your PLC

Описание: "My kids can't do this." One phrase from one teacher just gave the whole team permission to stop trying. Sigal Barsade's research on emotional contagion reveals that negativity spreads to every interaction—even when people don't realize it's happening. This video gives you a research-backed reframing protocol that stops deficit language from spreading, protects your team's collective efficacy, and redirects conversations toward options and action. Based on Barsade's Ripple Effect research, Hattie's collective teacher efficacy findings (effect size 1.34–1.57), and the Levels of Language framework from Kathryn Kee's Results Coaching.

🎯 IN THIS VIDEO YOU'LL LEARN:
✅ Why one negative statement can become an entire team's belief system
✅ The Ripple Effect—how emotional contagion spreads through team settings
✅ Why a 2019 Indiana University study found racial achievement gaps were twice as large in fixed-mindset classrooms
✅ The Levels of Language framework—from Obligation to Possibility
✅ Exact reframing language: "Among these options, which would work best for you and your students?"
✅ How to introduce reframing as a team norm rather than a correction tool
✅ Why "Let's stay positive" is dismissive and what to say instead
✅ When deficit language signals a system problem, not a mindset problem
