Prep Now, Thrive Later: Planning Your Best School Year

Dr. Chris Dennis reflects on recovering from an accreditation visit and offers concise leadership advice for closing the school year and preparing for the next one. He discusses scheduling, staffing, summer prep, and keeping work aligned with your school's mission.

He urges leaders to check in with staff, value differing perspectives that may challenge the status quo, and pay attention to small signals—the "constellations"—so you can make timely adjustments rather than major course corrections.
