Transformative Principal

Leading Change that Lasts with Dr. Kelly Hastings


Listen Later

Nearly a year ago, Dr. Kelly Hastings interviewed Jethro on this show to talk about Saboteurs. It’s high time we get her on the show to talk about her work. 

  • SCALE Framework:
  • Set the vision and team with clarity and purpose
  • Create the script that drives aligned, actionable change
  • Act and communicate effectively with your entire community
  • Learn, listen, and linger to build momentum and avoid burnout
  • Empower and elevate your team so the work lasts beyond one leader or school year
  • You can’t always make a vision happen in a single year. 
  • Principals must set the vision, but they can’t do it alone. 
  • Smallest possible action, aligned with what we are already doing
  • Communicate with everyone about how they can support the initiative. 
  • The power of “Shadow a Student
  • Teaching teachers how to be leaders - so powerful. 
  • Power of Permission - 
  • How to change mindsets - Vertical Development
  • How to be a transformative principal? Listen to what your good teachers are saying. 


Dr. Kelly Hastings brings over 28 years of dedicated service to public education, most recently as a middle school principal. Since retiring from her role in public schools, she has continued to impact the field by coaching and supporting school leaders in implementation and leadership development. Dr. Hastings is married and the proud mother of four children and grandmother to four grandchildren, ranging in age from 8 to 16. Living nearby, she delights in cheering them on in their many activities—from baseball and dance to taekwondo and more. Join her facebook group
