“Building a Culture of Achievement” / Heidi Heineke Magri and Diane Metz, Presenters
Target Audience: Instructional Leaders
Tuesday, September 19, 2023, at St. John’s Center, Little Rock
Having a culture of achievement requires an intentional effort by school leaders to put achievement at the focus of everything their school does. The most effective organizations have leaders at all levels who are clear about their roles and know how their effectiveness contributes to the organization as a whole. Leaders in this workshop will examine the domains for building a culture of achievement and explore and adapt ideas and strategies to grow within each domain. In this session, participants will be introduced to a range of processes, skills, and tools that will help build capacity throughout their learning environment. Breakout Sessions will be provided to allow leaders to work and develop strategies for their particular level (elementary, secondary) of school.
Participants will:
• Shape and share a school vision
• Set clear, common goals
• Create a community code to guide student behavior
• Establish and communicate non-negotiable expectations
• Learn strategies for building a positive school culture and climate with a focus on learning
