Every school leader says we’re here for students—their growth, their future. But here’s the truth: student outcomes don’t improve just by focusing on kids. They improve when leaders focus just as much on staff needs—the adults responsible for making learning possible. In Episode 2 of The Science of Leading, we explore why equipping and supporting teachers and staff is the critical lever for lasting student success. Drawing from implementation science and real experiences, this episode unpacks how leaders can build the trust, clarity, coaching, and collaborative structures staff need to sustain Tier 1 instruction and system-wide change. 📌 In this episode: Why focusing only on students leaves staff stretched thin and unsupported How to use feedback loops to understand staff needs and resistance The role of training, coaching, and collaboration in sustaining core practices How leaders create the conditions where both staff and students thrive If we want stronger outcomes for kids, we can’t bypass the adults. This is the Science of Leading Change in schools.
