The work of school leaders is more complex and challenging today than ever before.

 

Few principals would dispute that the last three school years have been the most taxing of their career. Some would even go so far as to say they have been the most difficult in the history of U.S. education.

 

School leaders are nearing a breaking point.

❌ Toxic and resistant staff members
❌ 14-hour days
❌ Diminished resources
❌ Staff burnout
❌ Teacher shortages
❌ Increased student behaviors
❌ The pressure to keep everyone safe
❌ Lack of work-life balance
❌ Endless conflicting demands
❌ Widespread demoralization
