Susan Scott (2017) emphasized that violent conversations are not cruel, brutal, or angry conversations, but rather are powerful and intense conversations. I believe the school's vision and mission are a starting point from which we can engage in heated conversations with the entire community about the vision for our school and how it can align with academic rigor. In reality, what matters everywhere in a school community matters everywhere in a school community and requires effective communication to optimize dialogue between stakeholders. Susan Scott (2017) suggested a method that promotes dialogue within the school community: the Beach Ball model. He compared an organization to a beach ball with six different colored stripes. For the school community, each stripe represents a specific group of people within the community, and each group is on a different stripe experiencing reality from that perspective. For example, a group of parents might be on the red stripe, students will be on the blue stripe, and teachers will be on the yellow stripe. In fact, they are within the school community, but they experience reality from a completely different perspective. Using this model, I can enhance the vision and mission of the school where there is a shared understanding of rigor
