District leaders are spending twice the time combatting political and social flashpoints at a time when student outcomes and morale are at all-time lows. Most districts haven’t changed their response processes in years, even when the flashpoints of today are entirely different – namely, they are multi-faceted and comprised of factors that regularly go unaddressed. Consequently, districts aren’t fully responding, and time otherwise spent on strategic initiatives is wasted as flashpoints continue to drag on.

Instead, superintendents need a new approach to flashpoint response that recognizes the complexity and nuance of today’s problems. Lessons from out of industry shows how to quickly deconstruct a complex flashpoint into its simple parts and then deploy appropriate strategies accordingly. This webinar will teach district leaders how to do this, thus reducing the likelihood that complex flashpoints will drag on and derail regular work toward strategic priorities.
