August Launch: Preparing Your School-Year Rhythm

from On The Way To School Hosted by Christopher S. Dennis

Dr. Chris Dennis walks through how school leaders can prepare in August to launch a steady school year: setting meeting cadences for direct reports, prioritizing classroom time (his goal is 25%), and staying present with faculty, students, and families. He shares practical tips—short classroom visits that aren’t evaluations, morning drop-off greetings, balancing teaching and advising, and building a consistent schedule that absorbs inevitable crises—so you start the year ready to lead.
