The success of a school hinges on the effectiveness of its Principal. Our seasoned team of Executive coaches have leveraged their decades of experience as school Principals to curate a series of the most urgent and relevant topics to equip leaders for the challenges of 2024 and beyond. This series is intentionally timed to support school leaders as they finish the 2024 school year strong and maximize their summer months to launch into a thriving 2025. 

Through collaborative sessions and personalized coaching, participants will delve into crucial themes such as navigating teacher shortages, addressing pandemic-induced learning loss, and fostering mental health resilience. Our coaches, having served in the Principal’s seat themselves, understand the complexities of the role and offer tailored support to enhance leadership effectiveness. 

Our Program Includes:

• Initial individual consultation and support session

     • Each leader will have a one on one session with an experienced coach 

       to identify strength and needs of both the Principal and the learning 

       community they lead, establishing a trusting mentor relationship and 

       informing our coach on the best customized tools and resources to 

       share with the leader as they go through the series. 

     • Following Session 4, a second session will focus on applying the learning

       and sharing additional resources to enhance overall effectiveness within

       the school community. 

• Five 1-hour sessions over six weeks 

• Limited seats to prioritize relationship-building & 

   collaboration 

• A variety of scheduling options to fit leaders needs and 

   eliminate interruptions to the school day duties

Finishing Strong in ‘24: Retaining our staff; filling our vacancies. 

Amid staff shortages, Principals must prioritize retaining key personnel and filling essential vacancies. Ending the year positively by recognizing successes is crucial for staff retention. Incorporating self-reflection into evaluations empowers staff to own their growth. Assessing recruitment narratives aids in attracting top talent, while effective systems retain existing staff. Supporting and empowering indispensable staff members is vital for maintaining a strong team.

Elevating your school’s story, aligning your ‘Why’ and building sustainable systems from a values level: 

Successful organizations start with a clear purpose. For schools, defining their “Why” and desired impact on their community is crucial. This session introduces collaborative processes for aligning individual purposes with the organization’s higher purpose, enhancing success across instructional frameworks, discipline plans, and community interactions. Spring and Summer is the right time to reiginite our purpose and realign our systems. Learn methods to prioritize tasks, monitor progress, and set measurable goals effectively in alignment with your purpose.

Building our brand and cultivating a Power of Our culture to drive student achievement. 

The Alliance for the Study of School Climate at Cal State LA highlights the direct link between school climate, the brand we create, and all key indicators of success. Creating a positive and empowering brand leads to reduced turnover, fewer discipline incidents, increased community involvement, and improved student outcomes. Understanding this correlation, Principals can learn practical methods to intentionally enhance school climate, fostering success as they finish the 2024 school year and plan for 2025. Explore processes and protocols to boost collaboration, enhance the brand, and address common climate issues within your school community.

Calendars, schedules, allotments, budgets, oh my! Getting the most out of the summer months.

Emphasizing control over key priorities amid challenges like budgeting and scheduling, the aim is for leaders to stay aligned with their vision, emerge rejuvenated, and address critical needs for the upcoming school year.
