Our team had a great time participating in the California Charter Schools Association conference last month! Highlighting the transformative power of strategic planning, we delved into Elevate Charter Schools' journey with Executive Director and Founding Principal Ryan Elliott and Third Plateau Senior Associate Katy Lardaro. Session participants gained valuable insights from a compelling strategic planning case study, with practical and applicable takeaways, including... 🔍 Why did Elevate School embark on strategic planning when it did? Persistent strategic questions lingered for years, lacking concrete answers. Caught in day-to-day urgencies, Elevate's leadership craved space to envision the school's future. 🛑 What challenges did Elevate encounter along the way? Balancing great ideas with practical feasibility was key. Adjusting timelines and priorities, and deferring certain initiatives to ensure sustainable progress. 🎯 What did Elevate gain from the process? An external perspective proved invaluable, pinpointing strengths and growth opportunities and bringing a new level of clarity. Strategic visioning enabled Ryan and the team to recognize and leverage all of their unique assets that otherwise may have been taken for granted -- and equipped them with a practical roadmap to guide their future. Our team loved connecting with so many charter school leaders during the conference and witnessing the community's enthusiasm for approaching education through a strategic lens. Thank you for having us! #Education #StrategicPlanning #CharterSchools #LeadershipDevelopment #SocialImpact

How do you define a great school? Which factor do you consider the most important as a parent, as an edupreneur, and as a concerned citizen? Is it a strong brand identity, or is it infrastructure, curriculum, staff, or overall learning environment? Or perhaps, as Lenka might put it, it is “everything at once”. In our School Leaders Summit (SLS) held recently, we encouraged our franchise partners to cast votes for the same. Though I won’t be sharing the election results yet, it is exciting to know what you would have voted for when talking about what makes a school truly great. #DirectorsMeet #SchoolLeadersSummit #SLS #Bachpan #AHPS #ElectionResults #Education #BrandIdentity #Vote #GetInvolved

Drew School (High School in SF) was described by students and administrators today on our counselor tour as a “hidden gem.” The question is why? The school recently shared a satisfaction survey of families revealing near perfect scores (97% -100%!) in areas from “challenge of the curriculum,” to “quality of teachers,” to “college placement.” It is also right on the 1 California bus line and smack in the middle of Pacific Heights. So, Drew is definitely not hidden, but it is ABSOLUTELY a gem! We met with the new amazing Head of School, encountered electric energy and heard from multiple senior leaders who are taking six rigorous honors classes, displaying no signs of stress or overwhelm. It doesn't end with incredible academics, administrators and teachers. Given the size and the philosophy of centering on teens, leadership opportunities abound and in a refreshing example of this, 80% of the information we received today was from “the source” - the students. Over ten busy teens took an hour with us to share their breadth of experience and outright love affair with their high school years at Drew.  If you want your 8th grader to have a rigorous high school experience that doesn’t burn them out by senior year, it would be a huge missed opportunity not to consider this school. A "hidden gem"? Maybe now, but not for long. www.drewschool.org
