Synopsis

Transform your school’s culture from the inside out

 

You're stunned by the increase in student absenteeism this year and wish you had the luxury of investigating all of the possible causes. From Silos to Systems provides specific application steps for engaging all staff in a systematic approach to dealing with the various causes of schoolwide problems. School leaders who have used this approach find numerous benefits:

 

• Teachers have a way for their voices to be heard
• Principals spend less time integrating all the concerns of various advisory groups
• Educators realize more dramatic results from their efforts
