Q: What’s the most important factor when considering a school improvement effort?

A: James,
The key factor is assessing your school’s readiness for change. I’ve learned more from my failures than successes. Even the best plans won’t succeed without the necessary foundation. As Luvelle Brown, 2017 NYS Superintendent of the Year, said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” A supportive culture that allows for mistakes is essential for implementing meaningful change.
