HATS: Heartfelt Acts for Teachers, Students, and Staff

Now, more than ever, we need to recognize HATS: Heartfelt Acts for Teachers, Students & Staff in our schools. Regardless of job title, you can implement these HATS – a wide array of strategies, programs, and events in your school to boost morale and make a positive impact on others.
In HATS, Jay, Andrew & Brian share real-life stories and experiences from their own schools that you can bring to yours. You will laugh, cry, and be moved to act to make your school a place where all want to attend, work, and serve. We need you. Education needs you. Your school needs you and HATS will inspire you to do more, give of yourself, and use your gifts and creative talents to brighten the lives of those around you.
Try on some of the HATS in this book, then mold the brim and make them your own. Cheers!
HATS is like drinking water from a fire hose in the best way possible. Ideas EVERYWHERE and RIGHT AT YOU! The book can be digested in any way you choose...but every way and every idea will help you feel validated for the work you are already doing or inspired to do something new with your team.

One of the most practical books that I’ve ever read, HATS brilliantly amplifies dozens of simple but effective strategies to strengthen the culture of any school. With each strategy intentionally designed to foster inclusivity and build relationships, Billy, Marotta, and McCann masterfully compile a blueprint to creating an environment where both students and staff want to be! If you’re looking for ways to intentionally shift hearts and minds, this is the guide you need!
