The Ultimate School Leadership Summit - How to Start the School Year Strong! - Ep 97

About this episode

The episode discusses how to prepare for a successful school year by laying intentional groundwork during the summer months.

A successful school year doesn't happen by accident—it is the direct result of the intentional groundwork laid over the summer months. Without a clear, proactive plan, school leaders often face a lack of staff clarity, leading to structural fragmentation and organizational chaos by October. If you want to ensure a smooth, impactful start to the upcoming school year, it's time to learn from leaders who have been there. In this special conversation, Kurtis and Lorna announce that they have teamed up with four other international leadership powerhouses to host the Start Your Year Right Summit for school administrators on June 25. They break down the core focus of this virtual event, introduce an incredible lineup of speakers, and share an exclusive 75% discount code created just for this audience.
