We’re doing a lot in schools—but are we doing what actually works? In this episode of The Principal School Podcast, Dr. Michael Meechin cuts through the noise to uncover the strategies that truly impact student achievement. If you're chasing initiatives without seeing results, it might be time to refocus on what really matters.

In this episode, we cover:

✅ Why some common school practices don’t move the needle (and waste valuable time)
✅ The research-backed strategies that actually improve student learning
✅ The role of leadership in setting the vision and priorities that drive results
✅ How to stop doing “all the things” and start doing the right things
✅ Practical steps school leaders can take to drive student growth—starting now

If you’re ready to focus on what works and ditch what doesn’t, this episode will help you lead with clarity, purpose, and impact.
