Leadership training has failed you...

You started your career as a Principal with lofty aspirations to lead a school where every child could be successful. After spending years working harder and harder and seeing only limited results, your long-ago idealistic zeal is slowly giving way to the soul-crushing cynicism and resignation you see all around you.

And yet there's still a part of you that believes that all children deserve to be successful in school . . .  if only you knew how to make it happen.

There is a way you can become the kind of Principal who can build a school where EVERY child is successful -- the kind of Principal who dramatically transforms schools - and lives.

We work with hundreds of Principals every day and we know how to help you achieve an aligned staff, and better student results without the stress and frustration you've been dealing with for too long.

Buildership University Isn't a COACHING or Training PROGRAM -- It's a Mentorship.

You already have enough resources. You probably have a shelf full of books you never have time to read. Your district pulls you from your school regularly for training. You've been to the big education conferences. And yet, you're still stressed and you see very little results.

What you really need is someone who can show you how to take all that you know and make it work for YOUR school, YOUR students, and YOUR unique circumstances. That's why we designed Buildership University to be a mentorship. The process has taken years and continues to evolve because we wanted this program to be unlike anything else available for Principals on the planet. Training and Coaching aren't enough so we created this mentorship program based on the Buildership® Model which provides the systems, resources and most of all, the expert guidance you need to build a 100% school where your entire staff is aligned to your goals and are working hard to ensure that every child in your school succeeds . . .no matter where you’re starting, how difficult people have been in the past, how limited your resources are, or what District demands you’re dealing with.

The Mentorship you get inside of Buildership University helps you get better student results without the stress

See for yourself...

Buildership University is right
for you, if...

...You're a New Principal

You finally have your own school and you’re eager to start making changes. But, you’re nervous about establishing trust with your staff first. Maybe you inherited a bit of a “mess.” The culture has some underlying toxicity and you’re trying to clear up the baggage your predecessor left while also trying to move your own agenda forward. You have big plans, but you’re not sure where to start. And privately, you struggle with the exhaustion and overwhelm of running a school and the fear that maybe you won’t succeed in your new role. 

Right now, there are 2 things you need most: You need some reliable systems that help you quickly establish control and order over your work and help you make serious student gains right away. Plus you need a supportive community of people who have “been there” and who have your back. They can be a safe place to share your frustrations and give you sage advice so that you don’t make any major mistakes while you’re trying to establish yourself in your new role.  

...You're an Experienced Principal

You’ve gotten your school stabilized and have seen some successes. But, you feel like in order to sustain and grow your school, it all comes down to you. You’re working nights, weekends, sacrificing time with your family or time to pursue your life outside of school. It feels like you’re always working -- even when you’re not physically at school, your mind is always preoccupied with the next crisis, and even when you’re away, at any time you can get that text or email that pulls you right back in. You’re always busy taking care of everyone else, meeting their needs, while your needs go on the back burner. You may even be starting to wonder whether or not this school, this role, is the right one for you? You’re exhausted, doing ALL the things, and frustrated because no matter how hard you work, you’re still not seeing the results you want or your results do not match the effort you put in to achieve them.

At this point, it’s all about implementing systems and helping your team take on more responsibility so that your school runs smoothly and you make steady progress towards your goals -- without continuing to sacrifice your life, your free time, and your health -- or your standards.

...You are the Principal of a Private School

Being the principal of a private school often means that you are doing ALL the things -- from being the instructional leader, to substituting when a teacher is out, managing the budget, marketing your school, designing the school newsletter, and interfacing with your Board. You are constantly trying to upgrade the level of instruction in your school while also keeping parents happy, keeping your Board happy, and recruiting new students so that you have enough enrollment to sustain your school. You really wear all the hats which means that you never seem to have enough time being the visionary of your school. As much as you truly believe in the mission of your school, you’re quickly becoming burned out as you try to keep all the balls in the air. You’re not the only one exhausted, your teachers feel overwhelmed as well. You know that your school could be so much more but your teachers seem stuck in the past and unwilling to risk trying something new. 

What you need most is a set of simple systems you can put into place so that your school runs smoothly, your teachers are re-energized and focused, and you are able to focus on doing the work that only you can do.

...You are a District Administrator

Running a department in your district is very different from running a school. You have a smaller team and yet you’re responsible for bigger outcomes. You know how to run a school and you’ve achieved some results in the past, but now, your job is to help OTHER principals achieve results in their school. It can be frustrating because you are responsible for results without being able to directly implement the things you know would make the schools you serve successful. 

What you need most is a simple set of systems that help you not only achieve the impact you want to achieve, but that also helps you help others achieve a similar impact in their schools.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN Buildership University?

What's the Investment?

Buildership University is a 3 year program with a minimum 1 year commitment. The reason we ask members to commit to at least one year is because the first year of Buildership® University is really about establishing the key systems you need. If you skip any part of that first year, you won’t have the foundational systems in place to propel your school forward.
 
The way BU works the first year is that we have broken down these systems into a step-by-step process and each week, you are taking the next steps towards building your systems.  Although we have processes in place to allow you to go at your own pace, it’s really hard to achieve momentum without at least a year-long commitment.
