Robyn Jackson teaches a simple 4 step process that helps you improve teacher will AND skill so that you can achieve your vision for your school with the people you already have. No more waiting for others to get on board before you can reach your goals. No more having your vision be held hostage by the resistant, but vocal few.

With this 4-step process, you don't have to wait to achieve your vision. Listen to her weekly podcast School Leadership Reimagined where you can get immediately actionable strategies to solve your biggest challenges.

 

Show Highlights

  • Leadership is dead. Don’t lead and break from the trap.
  • A  model to help translate to your school’s reality.
  • Set an impactful vision that excites and is crisis proof.

  • Stop settling for little tiny goals with Buildership. 
  • An invitation to step away from an institution that's broken.

“It doesn't have to be a big framework that you create. Sometimes it's as simple as taking a vision that you have for your school and being brave enough and disciplined enough to articulate it and pursue it. When you do that you can have that same kind of world-changing impact in your school, in the lives of your kids.”
