School Culture Circle 101
THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE ONLINE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESOURCE FOR SCHOOLS
Join Us To Build & Grow Your School Culture On Purpose!
Welcome to a passionate community of conscious educators who are ready to learn and grow with a virtual community of support to create a comprehensive, sustainable, positive school culture! We will dive in together to explore the foundational elements that create the school community you’ve always dreamed of! We will guide you to identify your school wide common language rooted in the core values of every member of your school community. We will then kick it into high gear infusing them into every detail of a “this is who we are and this is how we do things here” mentality.
This new virtual experience, structured from 10+ years of results based in-person school leadership and culture professional development, is all about growing beyond the walls of your current school community and getting everyone excited for this next level of how unified you can be together.
We will dive into the frameworks of comprehensive culture sustainability for you to take the wisdom and learnings back to the rest of your staff, leveraging their talents to help with the implementation strategies we share with you.
We will meet as a select group of 25 educators, from a variety of school communities, who are united in their passion for making the difference you were born to make in this lifetime.
We look forward to welcoming you into this incredibly inspiring community to learn and grow beyond what you dreamed possible in this new world of education!
Who Should Join?
This circle is right for you if:
You don’t have a unified vision or core values that guide your school throughout the details of daily life or you have them, but they are more words on a wall versus a powerful, purpose driven common language!
You are curious about your natural leadership style and how to leverage it within your staff!
You are ready to think bigger about your school community!
You are a leader in your school community!
You know the power of core values to amplify the impact you are already making!
You are ready to lead your students and staff on a journey of revolutionizing your school culture for your entire community to benefit from your leadership!
“This program gives you the personal accountability to know what makes you happiest, wherever you are.”
— Cassandra Pawling, a culinary arts teacher at Desert Pines High School in Las Vegas
