organizational leadership & change management | teams & culture
early in my career, when i was a middle school science teacher in charlotte, north carolina, i didn’t think that the ritual of shaking my students’ hands, fist bumping, or hugging my students as they entered our classroom meant anything. but now, i realize it’s the opposite. the repetitive habit of checking in with your team means everything. it’s a signal that your team is paying attention to the whole being of others, focusing on the little things, caring about the unity of the team, and so much more.

district leadership | teacher retention | teams & culture
a recent survey of more than 1,000 districts found that nearly two-thirds of districts are reporting teacher shortages heading into the 2021-2022 school year. to plug or refill leaks in this draining teacher pool, districts are increasingly leveraging stimulus funding to enact short-term solutions such as incentives and signing bonuses. but the foundational cracks in the teacher pool and pipeline are deep, widespread and found at every phase of the teacher lifecycle. we need to reassess and reimagine the way we engage and support teachers at every stage of this journey, and we can start by looking at the candidate profiles that drive our recruitment, hiring and onboarding.

district leadership | innovative leadership | teams & culture
one of the best things about living your professional life in education is the assumption implicit in the field that everyone has something valuable to contribute, and there is always an opportunity to level up. over the past year, we have seen this belief confirmed in classrooms, virtual classrooms, schools, and districts all over the country as teachers, counselors, campus administrators, and district leaders have taken on challenges and shifted the way school happens with no notice, little training, and endlessly changing demands and limitations.
