District emphasizes 'navigating growth' and protected time for instructional leadership
Summary
Superintendent Purvis and Principal Wax discuss the district theme 'navigating growth, impacting what matters,' recommending protected time for instructional leadership teams and professional learning communities to support student growth.
The district’s theme for the coming year—"navigating growth, impacting what matters"—shaped a portion of the podcast conversation. Justin Wax recommended using tools such as the Eisenhower matrix to prioritize important work and urged principals to carve out protected time for instructional leadership teams and professional learning communities.
Wax said the practice of pausing to revisit goals and "reflect on our own successes and our own failures" helps principals respond to growth-related challenges and develop leadership capacity within schools. Purvis reinforced that the district’s focus should center on student growth and that changes to practice must be given time to show results.
