3 steps to prepare for the next school crisis

How a lot would you pay for a crystal ball that might foresee the next school crisis? Though the ongoing pandemic has been referred to as a ‘once-in-a -lifetime crisis for school,’ we all know that future crises are, sadly, inevitable. What faculties, educators and households have skilled over the final two years has radically modified our understanding of what it means to actually care for college students and lecturers.

After almost 20 years in training, one factor I’ve discovered is there isn’t a ‘normal.’ Whether it’s a nationwide instructor scarcity, difficult politics, funding instability or the devastating impression of gun violence on our communities, there’s at all times a school crisis to navigate. 

How can faculties prepare for the next crisis whereas guaranteeing their long-term success? I could not have that crystal ball, however I do have management philosophies which have helped our faculties stay the highest-performing elementary faculties of their respective neighborhoods.

I hope, pandemic or not, faculties can proceed to share working strategies with one another so that every one college students have entry to high-quality training.
