Climate Catalyst Academy: Leading Beyond the Walkie-Talkie
Does the walkie-talkie take over your day? Does the walkie-talkie prevent you from getting to the important work? Does the walkie-talkie disrupt the work of others? Then this academy is for you.
This academy provides school leaders with the latest research and evidence-based strategies for cultivating a positive school climate and culture. Through interactive workshops, school leaders will learn how to gather and analyze school climate data, identify areas for improvement, and develop targeted action plans to address common behavior disruptions.
Topics covered include establishing consistent rules and norms, improving relationships and communication, implementing restorative practices, and providing tiered supports. Participants will gain hands-on experience conducting needs assessments, setting measurable goals, selecting appropriate interventions, monitoring progress, and adjusting approaches using 100-day rapid improvement cycles.
At the end of the academy, leaders will be equipped with a customized roadmap for making incremental yet impactful changes that can transform their school climate and reduce constant walkie-talkie calls, so that you and your team can focus on what matters most, teaching and learning.
