What does a successful school year look like for your building? In this episode of The Principal’s Handbook, we explore how to set clear, purposeful goals that guide your school forward. I’ll share my personal approach to creating a vision and drafting goals before the year begins — rooted in district priorities, building data, and staff input — so you can lead with confidence and intention.

You'll learn:

•  Why starting with your own vision is essential — and how it actually makes shared leadership stronger
•  Five key reasons to draft goals before the year starts
•  How to involve your Building Leadership Team (BLT) and staff so goals become truly collective
• Tips for making your planning time efficient and aligned to what matters most

Plus, I’ll give you a quick look at my Lead with Clarity: Vision & Goals Workbook and how ChatGPT prompts can help you organize your thoughts and simplify this process.

Start your year anchored in clarity and purpose — and set your building up for success!
