This week on the podcast, we are joined by chief academic officer Samuel Nix who discusses his book - 6 Stepa to a Strong School Culture: A Leadership Cycle for Educational Success. Nix should know - having taken, as principal, his school to the top 30 in the nation.
Too often, says Nix, school leaders go from crisis to crisis rather than developing a systemic approach to school improvement which lies at the heart of sustainable and strong school culture. Also, many school leaders maintain a mindset that prioritizes teaching over learning,
Lastly, leaders have a tendency to hold other educators accountable without having been clear in communicating the school mission nor having provided quality feedback so that teachers can improve.
To change this, Nix recommends that school leaders:
- Clarify the mission
_ Plan Strategically
- Empower Self and Others
- Measure and Gather Feedback
- Adjust and Improve
- Be Accountable and Give Rewards
I hope you will listen in to our conversation as we discuss each of these six steps.
