Data-Driven Leadership Accelerator (5-Hour Virtual Intensive)

This 5-hour Leadership Accelerator is a high-impact working session designed for school leaders who are ready to strengthen systems, sharpen mid-year strategy, and accelerate results. Participants will learn how to build a streamlined Data Leadership System, define leadership roles and accountability structures, and transform data into actionable, measurable improvement plans. Through a combination of targeted instruction and guided application labs, leaders will create their customized mid-year action plan, leadership calendar, and monitoring systems aligned to proven turnaround practices. The session concludes with executive coaching and solution consults to ensure every leader leaves with a fully operational, ready-to-implement leadership system tailored to their school’s needs.

Data-Driven Leadership Accelerator: Build Your Mid-Year System in One Day

School improvement doesn’t happen by accident—it happens by design.
And the leaders who make the biggest gains aren’t working harder…
They’re working from a system.

If you’re heading into mid-year feeling the weight of data, inconsistent practices, or a leadership team that isn’t fully aligned—this 5-hour virtual intensive is your turning point.

In one powerful day, you’ll build a complete Mid-Year Leadership System you can implement immediately to drive measurable results before Spring assessments hit.

Why This Accelerator Matters

Most leaders don’t struggle because they lack data.
They struggle because they lack a system for turning data into action.

During this hands-on Accelerator, you won’t just learn concepts—you’ll build and launch the actual leadership structures, planning tools, and routines your school needs to finish the year strong.

You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a mid-year system that your leadership team can use the very next day.

Who This Is For

This Accelerator is designed for school leaders who are serious about transformational results:

• Principals ready to reset and realign mid-year systems
• Assistant Principals building leadership and data capacity
• Instructional Coaches driving instructional improvement
• Leadership Teams (2–4 people per school) committed to strong outcomes

If your school is ready for systems that actually stick—this is for you.

What You’ll Build During the Accelerator

In just 5 hours, you will create:

1. A Mid-Year Data Leadership System

A simple structure for identifying what really matters, aligning your team, and ensuring monitoring is consistent across classrooms.

2. Leadership Work Blocks & Action Structures

You’ll design the leadership rhythms that make your school run—without chaos, confusion, or last-minute scrambling.

3. A Customized Mid-Year Implementation Plan

You’ll walk away with a clear, tailored plan based on your school’s data, not generic templates.

This is not sit-and-get.
This is build-and-implement.
