OUR LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

Transforming some of America's most challenging schools has been at the forefront of conversations and debates for the last decade.  Besieged with failing test scores, community challenges and often inadequate resources, funding and buildings, failing schools often lack the structures needed to transform over time.  Too often, the strategies implemented are random, shallow and lack systemic structures for long-term progress and sustaining power.  

Being an effective leader requires understanding those challenges and knowing how and when to put the pieces together, ensuring the right pieces fits in the right place. As a principal, the many tasks expected to effectively lead a school can be overwhelming and at times quite challenging.  

Hairston Education helps new principals and struggling school leaders go from being unaware of what to do or what steps to take, to developing a toolbox that equips them with the knowledge, skills, tools, and resources to lead their schools to both academic and professional success. 

The coaching and training we provide equips school leaders with the tools necessary to lead their students, schools and communities effectively.  The content is designed to support their professional growth and development by presenting the information in modules which support: 
  • the impact of leadership on student and staff performance
  • assessing the school organization, design, climate and culture
  • analyzing data to inform decision-making and transform student learning
  • application of strategies to impact student learning and strengthen teacher development

We are committed to developing leaders from the "inside out" and we use a transformative approach that requires commitment and self-discipline.  We believe in: 

Inspiring Principals:
We want to inspire school leaders to act; to understand their roles as a leader and to bring life into leadership, inspiring them to dig deep, self-reflect and become difference-makers. 

Challenging Principals:
We believe leadership is a privilege and it is also a responsibility. Leadership is risk-taking and accountability. We are here to stretch school leaders out of the box and to expand their thinking outside the box. Leadership is not easy, but leadership does not have to be done alone. Hairston Education works alongside school leaders, coaching and encouraging them to transform into the best LEADER possible. 

Equipping Principals:
We will never inspire and challenge school leaders without providing the knowledge and tools to "live out leadership." Our coaching and leadership support equips school leaders with the tools and teachings to apply to their life, their team, and to their school.

SUMMER LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE
This 2-Day Summer Institute focuses on the ‘management’ component of instructional leadership and provides principals with training modules that examine how to build the infrastructure and framework of a successful school. Principals will be involved in activities that review the systems, structures, and processes needed to plan, organize, instruct, and hire. 

​There is a Chinese proverb that says, “When planning for a year, plant corn. When planning for a decade, plant trees. When planning for life, train and educate people.” In other words, when planning,  principals must consider short-, mid- and long-term goals. Equally important, principals must make decisions based on where the school presently is and where they expect the  school to move in the next year, 5 years, and 10+ years.
