Catholic Schools Learning and 
Having Fun with School Growth  

Notre Dame Academy (GA) is Building Faculty Engagement and Increasing the Talent Quotient

Debra Orr and her leadership team at Notre Dame Academy in Atlanta are learning to grow. In collaboration with School Growth, they have restructured the enrollment office, vastly improved communication with faculty and families, created an environment for deeper trust and relationships, and developed a plan for rapid learning and growth. On Monday of this week some of the NDA administrators and board leaders participated in the School Growth Innovation Workshop, and we provide monthly Coaching for the head of school and her team.

  What is       
School Growth's Impact?

Just over the last 18 months School Growth's training and services have impacted over 1 MILLION people, creating better learning opportunities for students, parents, teachers, staff members, administrators, and board members. Catholic Schools especially benefit from the increased talent, energy and engagement achieved through our unique professional development programs.

Recognizing the opportunity to make some strategic improvements, he also enrolled in Leadership Coaching. Effective learning is a huge advantage for the school, providing greater knowledge and wisdom.

Faculty Engagement is Key for HSP

Recognizing that faculty engagement is the most reliable predictor of student growth and school success, Kyle Pietrantonio invested in on-campus training to cultivate deeper relationships across the community. Through School Growth's workshop on Building Faculty Engagement, HSP administrators and faculty now have a deeper understanding about the contribution they make to enrollment, fundraising, and overall excellence.

“School Growth facilitated our Summer Leadership Summit at the Catholic Life Center, with 28 schools developing a plan for innovation and growth, which has contributed to our goal of greater innovation and entrepreneurial thinking in each school and throughout the diocese.”
—Dr. Melanie Verges, Superintendent of the Diocese of Baton Rouge Catholic Schools

Message from Scott Barron, Founder of School Growth:
The Emotional Challenge of School Leadership

Scott-Barron-Yabwi.pngAt the Innovation Workshop this week, one of the participating Catholic school board members asked, 
"Why is school leadership so difficult and complex? I have been involved as an executive in very large companies, but I've found the school to be much more of a challenge, especially when it comes to the emotional reactions."

She's right--school administration does involve making emotionally-charged decisions on a daily basis. And that's exhausting for anyone. With parents more sensitive when it comes to situations that affect their children, coupled with an overconfidence in their knowledge of school leadership and the facts at hand, resolving conflict is a big part of the job. 

You can create a school culture that has a higher degree of trust through proactive communications that strengthen the grapevine, establishing best practices for listening and responding to concerns, and preparing your board members, faculty, and parents through discussions in advance regarding various scenarios that are likely to happen throughout the year and how you will handle them when they occur.School_Growth_Purpose.png

Consistenly and deliberately developing the emotional intelligence throughout your school community will help you reduce the stress and strain.

Be Strong & Courageous,

Scott
