Last week, I had the privilege of joining a conversation that challenged the way we think about leadership in education. During From Educator to Entrepreneur: Building Leadership Systems That Scale Beyond the Classroom, we unpacked how educators can turn their everyday expertise into scalable systems that reach far beyond their schools. The reality? Some of the most impactful leaders aren’t just teaching, but they’re building. Where do you see the biggest opportunity for educators to expand their influence?

✅ 2,000+ learning walks in year one. ✅ 10,000 observations across 100 schools. ✅ A 3% point gain in ELA and math district-wide. ➡️ Six districts presented at our BIG Picture Instructional Leadership Virtual Showcase and shared how they're making a difference for their teachers and students. We captured the highlights on our blog here: https://lnkd.in/gU_brt_J #TeacherGrowth #StudentAchievement #EdLeaders

Attendance is one of the most urgent challenges districts are facing right now. But one thing we’re seeing consistently: Students don’t make decisions about school in isolation from the rest of their lives. When things feel uncertain, it changes how students engage — and whether they show up at all. That’s why the strongest attendance outcomes aren’t driven by reminders or incentives. They’re driven by design. District leaders who are seeing progress are focusing on consistency, relationships, and clarity across their systems. If your district is thinking about how to strengthen these conditions, we’re always open to continuing the conversation: 👉 https://lnkd.in/ggtpz6FK #DistrictLeadership #StudentAttendance #EducationLeadership #SchoolSystems

This is where changemakers are developed and meaningful ideas come to life. A changemaker is someone who sees the opportunity for something better in the world, a gap or void or need and a different way of thinking and doing. They don’t just see opportunities. They take action. They learn that they have the ability to make that change happen.

Student voice is one of the most powerful drivers of school culture—and when it’s done intentionally, it leads to meaningful, lasting change. As National Student Leadership Week (April 20–24) approaches, this piece outlines three actionable strategies for elevating student voice, including student advisory councils, structured feedback forums, and student-driven topic prioritization. A key takeaway: authentic collaboration between students and school leaders doesn’t just improve communication—it builds trust, leadership, and stronger school communities. ✍️ By S.

Great leadership starts with collective learning. This morning, educators gathered in Atlanta, GA to kick off the Leading PLCs at Work Districtwide Workshop—bringing together 97 dedicated professionals committed to strengthening collaboration and student success.
