You are a school administrator-a principal or maybe a district
leader. You're doing everything "right"-poring over data, trying
new strategies, launching annual initiatives, bringing in outside
trainers. So why do the outcomes you seek still seem so far away?
The problem isn't you; it's that you were trained in school
leadership, and school leadership just isn't up to the challenge.
Each year, Robyn R. Jackson helps thousands of administrators stop
wasting time and energy on flawed leadership approaches that
succeed only with the right staff, students, parents, budget, and
boss. As they have discovered, it's possible to transform your
school with the people and resources you already have. The secret?
Stop leading and start building! In this book, you'll learn to use
Jackson's breakthrough Buildership Model (TM) to escape the "school
improvement hamster wheel" and finally create the school your
students and teachers deserve. The work involves a handful of
simple shifts in how you approach . . . Purpose: Instead of chasing
tiny gains or the "next new thing" every year, you'll establish and
use an ambitious vision, mission, and set of core values to
galvanize your staff, keep everyone focused, and create true
accountability for achieving your goals. People: You'll discover
new ways to help every teacher grow one level in one domain in one
year or less and, ultimately, develop high levels of both will and
skill. Pathway: Instead of trying to tackle every problem at once,
you'll identify the biggest obstacle standing in your way right now
and figure out exactly how to remove it once and for all. Plan:
You'll learn a new process for solution implementation that is
iterative, cyclical, and capable of powering both short-term wins
and ongoing transformation, year over year. When you stop leading
and start building, you let go of the idea that you need to work
harder to make your school "work better." You no longer settle for
incremental improvement when what you really want is dramatic
change and better learning outcomes for all. It's time to make the
shift from leadership to buildership. Get ready to turn your school
into a success story.
