Strategic School Leadership promotes the growth and effectiveness of school leaders as a board-supported development opportunity. In 2019 we entered into a partnership with KRW International, a firm assessing executives and their teams for three decades, modifying their approach to serve the leaders of our schools.
The Return on Character process is a superb investment for schools, as it is:
- Comprehensive, touching every group the leader impacts with thorough and confidential feedback, and it also studies the lessons learned from the lifelong path the leader took to the current position.
- Developmental, creating a plan to improve performance through essential leadership habits.
- Research-based, benchmarking performance with other major leaders and creating a measurable impact study.
- Character-focused, believing that, especially in school leadership, traits of integrity, responsibility, forgiveness, and compassion in a leader create and sustain a community that nurtures and educates children and develops and sustains adults in their work.
Supporting the head is the single most important task that a board has. The Return on Character is not a 360 evaluation. It is the finest professional development opportunity a school leader can have.
