Schools Need a North Star More Than Ever

My View
Here’s an uncomfortable truth: Most school improvement plans don’t fail because of poor effort. They fail because of too many priorities.
Walk into almost any school and you’ll find a plan packed with goals: literacy, math, attendance, behavior, school culture, family engagement. Each one is valid. All of them together are unmanageable. When everything is a priority, nothing is.
This is not a planning problem. It’s a focus problem. And it’s one that superintendents must address head-on.
