School improvement is an infinite game. Teachers have the greatest impact on the success of every student’s learning journey, and creating a healthy school culture is fundamental to their support.
Our group formed in 2017 with the purpose to figure out how to reverse the alarming trend of teachers quitting the profession. Using leading researchers, a world class research effort and experiences from nationally renowned educational leaders, we reverse-engineered why teachers were leaving--and that's where the fun began.
The research is clear that school culture factors are important for teachers to grow, develop, and stay in the profession. We identified and defined the core drivers of healthy school culture--and activated them for continuous improvement using our MyVoice platform.
By using teacher voice and agency to develop a healthy school culture, teachers and principals can design solutions using the professional expertise and talent of teachers and leaders through real-time formative school culture data.
We believe improving teaching and learning is done through an intentional inquiry process creating collective action and collective responsibility between teachers and leaders--and it's working.
