School leaders Shelley Burgess and Beth Houf discuss their book, Lead Like a Pirate, and what character traits make up great school leaders. We talk about why culture matters FIRST, how to build culture and trust with your staff and families, and, most importantly, how to get everyone on "team kid." Catch Shelley & Beth's keynote, "Transform Culture and Build Schools Where Students & Staff Run to Get IN, not OUT" at MESPA Institute 2020! More info at mespa.net/institute.
