In the latest episode of the Cheers to Your Pivot podcast, we dive deep into a captivating case study that highlights the incredible impact of leadership, vision, and a commitment to diversity and inclusion in schools. Dr. Taryn shares her experience working with a school facing low enrollment, limited community engagement, and a lack of cultural understanding🏫.
Here are 3 key takeaways you won't want to miss:
1️⃣ Prioritize Diversity & Belonging: Research shows that 61% of prospective families are seeking diverse learning communities for their children. By strategically preparing for underrepresented communities to be a part of your school community, you can attract and retain families who value diversity.
2️⃣ Ongoing Strategy is Key: While many schools try a one-and-done approach to building belonging, the real game-changer lies in having an ongoing strategy. Only 7% of schools actively recruit and prepare for underrepresented communities. By focusing on continuous leadership coaching, culturally responsive training, and ongoing professional learning, schools can create sustainable positive change.
3️⃣ Transform Your School: The results speak for themselves! Working with this particular school led to a remarkable increase in enrollment, with the highest numbers in 60 years. This not only provided more funding but also allowed for better infrastructure, training, and facilities. Prioritizing equity and belonging has a significant return on investment, contributing to a thriving school community.
Cheers to Your Pivot!🎉✨
