You Know What You Need

You Know What You Need
 For school leaders who are ready to trust their instincts this year.

School leaders, you already know what you need.

Yet too often, you choose the program, the article, or the initiative that doesn’t quite fit. You’re chasing results, higher test scores, improved attendance, fewer discipline referrals, but the tools you’ve been handed don’t always reflect your school’s reality.

Yes, district goals matter. But so do yours.
And if we’re being honest?
Most of what you’ve been given wasn’t designed with your leadership style or your community in mind.

 
Remix What You’ve Got

Books, how-to guides, outside consultants, they’re all resources, not solutions.
And here’s the truth: you don’t have to follow any of it to the letter.
You have permission to adapt, remix, and restructure it all to match your vision.

Because when it comes down to it, you already know what works for your students, your staff, and your community.

 
This Year, Make It Yours

You know what your teachers need, you’ve been one.
You know what your students need, you’ve listened.
You know what your school needs, because you’ve led from the inside out.

So build the year around that knowing.
Start with what feels true.
Then create from there.
