Description

Is your school or district juggling too many initiatives? From SEL to PBIS, UDL to MTSS, today’s episode of System Shift tackles the exhaustion caused by siloed efforts—and how to shift toward integrated, purpose-aligned systems that truly support both staff and students.


In This Episode:



  • Why more initiatives ≠ more impact and may actually reduce effectiveness.

  • The hidden costs of siloed systems: duplicate spending, confusion, and staff burnout.

  • How to reframe initiatives through integration, clarity, and purpose.

  • Real-world examples of schools aligning SEL, academics, and behavior supports into a cohesive system.

  • Practical tools to map, align, and evaluate your initiatives with a systems-thinking lens.


Key Takeaway:
Success doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from doing what matters in alignment. Integrated systems reduce overwhelm, build shared ownership, and maximize impact.


Action Step:
Try this week’s alignment activity: Map out your school’s initiatives on paper, connect them to your purpose statement, and look for isolated silos. This visual audit helps identify which initiatives are working together and which need rethinking.
