Five Actionable Strategies for School Leaders Who Want to Avoid Initiative Fatigue
Update: 2023-09-10
Description
In this podcast, we are completely focused on successfully implementing and managing the multiple initiatives that can be found in every school system.
What you’ll find in this episode:
Despite the enormous amount of various initiatives in schools, maintain a mindset that sees how they all fit into the system versus it being “one more thing.”
Zoom out to gain a greater perspective so you can successfully organize the initiatives and work into buckets. Very often the area of focus may gel nicely with work already being done.
As a school leader, be sure to include teacher voice and their perspective. They will point out obstacles and roadblocks that will save an enormous amount of time.
Let teacher leaders run with the work, but don’t leave them out to dry. Providing ongoing leadership development and capacity building is key.
Lastly, do an inventory of all the programs and initiatives. Sometimes the work overlaps with other efforts and either something can be eliminated or coupled.
Let us know if there’s a topic you want us to cover in our short Leading Better & Growing Faster episodes by leaving a comment below or by contacting us at contact@theschoolhouse302.com. And don’t miss our leadership content updates every week by subscribing on the site.
We can’t wait to hear from you.
