Leading a Continuously Improving School

Leading a Continuously Improving School is designed to learn over two session. Accelerating team capacity to learn and lead is a critical role for every building leader. We envision “every child, every day” yet most teams struggle balancing daily ‘urgent’ issues with staying centered enough to execute on the important work. Leaders and teams get distracted, even exhausted by isolated initiatives. As a result, 70% of change efforts fail. Yet, we know success is possible. Improvement becomes real when we expand the capacity to lead and tackle the real barriers as a team. Improvement at scale requires a commitment to hardwire new routines centered on service to our students, their families and one another. Actions become informed by the measures that matter and problem-solving is shared. Leaders and team learn to hardwire critical routines to engage, work along-side their teams, and intentionally grow leadership capacity at every level. Ultimately, building teams grow into an army of improvers focused on service and taking action to achieve what is valued. Join to learn how to grow team capacity, hardwire routines to problem-solve together, and frame a school or department balanced scorecard to stay centered and filter out the initiative white noise.
