Focusing on the Work
Cutting to the core of what really matters for principals, teachers, and students.

School improvement is an essential, ongoing process. But new initiatives are too often overwhelming and cumbersome. We sit down with educator, author, and speaker Douglas Reeves to hone in on what’s important to educating kids at your school. In this episode, we discuss:
- Addressing unfinished learning
- How to see grading
- Effective PLCs
- Creating a 100 day plan
