Summer Rewind: 5 Traps that Threaten
the Success of Your School Improvement Efforts this year

  • Buildership is not a hat you can take on and off when it suits you. In order to be a true Builder, you must meet every challenge, every situation like a Builder.
  • There are several ways that we cheat our change efforts and we often don’t even realize it. Much of the way that we were taught to lead change actually dampens our impact.
  • Real change is possible. Done correctly, you can have a massive impact on your school.

Have you ever wondered why your change efforts lose steam over time? There’s a reason for that. In fact, there are 5 BIG reasons, I call them TRAPS that seriously threaten the success of our change efforts and keep us from achieving the momentum we need to reach our goals.
