Leading from the middle can feel different every day.

You may be translating a school priority for your team, improving a meeting, coaching a colleague or handling a conversation you did not expect to have. Start with the challenge that is most useful to you now.

Problem #1

Responsibility Without Real Power

All too often, we label teachers as "leaders" but don’t empower them with a clear vision of what we expect them to do or how to do it.

Inside our ecosystem, you’ll learn how to:

  • Broaden your perspective: Expand the specific leadership skills and attributes required to succeed as a leader in your school.

  • Align top-level objectives: Ensure middle leaders align top-level objectives of senior leaders with the needs and interests of their team members.

  • Surface new ideas: Foster leading collaborations that will improve teaching and learning across the school.

  • Ensure buy-in: Successfully pitch and execute large initiatives that stretch the capacity of leaders across the school.

Problem #2

Clear Goals, Zero Execution

Even if teacher leaders are perfectly clear on what is expected of them, they still have to overcome a myriad of daily distractions, a lack of transparency, and surface-level friction much later in the school year.

Inside our ecosystem, you’ll learn how to:

  • Align with senior leaders: Secure active, consistent support from executive leadership.

  • Understand how team development stages work: Learn how responsibilities and leadership objectives shift during each stage of a school year.

  • Master goal setting: Align top-level objectives of senior leaders with the needs and interests of your team members.

  • Mitigate difficult behaviors: Engage in professional learning conversations that build consensus and move teams forward.
