Coming Soon: Seeing the Whole School

Each August, schools begin again. As a new year opens, it is worth asking not only what our own work requires, but how that work connects to the responsibilities carried by others.Corey Alderdice, a national voice in talent and transformation, previews Seeing the Whole School, a four-part August series about the interplay between student-proximate work and the broader institutional responsibilities that sustain schools over time. The series explores the Proximity and Purpose Continuum, moving from the work closest to students to the external relationships, public trust, governance, resources, and strategic translation that make school missions possible. Designed for educators, school leaders, families, board members, alumni, civic partners, and anyone who cares about how schools actually work, this preview invites listeners to begin the year with a wider field of vision. Because no one sees the whole school alone, the new school year offers an opportunity to better understand how care, stewardship, proximity, and purpose connect.For additional thoughts from Corey, visit coreyalderdice.com.You can also follow him on Twitter/X, LinkedIn, BlueSky, YouTube, Instagram, and Threads.
