Build 100%
Staff Alignment
Around
100% Student Success
Buildership University is a full-year mentorship for sitting principals who are ready to stop chasing, checking, and correcting—and start building schools where teachers stay focused on the right work, staff alignment drives every decision, and 100% student success becomes possible.
A complete overview of the Buildership Model®, what you'll build during the mentorship, and whether Buildership University is the right fit for you.
Most principals don't struggle because they lack a vision for their school.
They struggle because they can't get their entire staff to genuinely commit to it.
People nod during meetings, then return to doing what they've always done.
Teachers agree with the goal but disagree about what it requires from them.
The moment you stop reminding, checking, and pushing, momentum begins to fade.
It doesn't have to be that way.
Buildership University helps you build the systems that create 100% staff alignment around 100% student success.
A Different Way to Build a School
Most professional development teaches principals how to become better leaders.
Buildership teaches principals how to become Builders.
Instead of relying on personality, motivation, and constant oversight, you'll learn how to build systems that keep teachers focused on the right work, take ownership of student success, and sustain progress long after the meeting ends.
You cannot achieve 100% student success without 100% staff alignment.
And you cannot achieve 100% staff alignment through leadership alone.
You have to build it.
What You'll Build
Over the course of the year, you'll install the following systems in your school:
Purpose: A Clear Direction
Create the foundation that aligns your staff around one shared purpose.
You'll build:
Outcome: Your staff understands and commits to where the school is going, why it matters, and the right work required to achieve your vision.
People: A Staff Focused on the Right Work
Build the systems that help teachers grow professionally, focus on the right work, and take ownership of student success.
You'll build:
Outcome: Teachers know what matters most, continue improving their practice, and move the work forward without constant reminders, checking, or pushing.
Process: A School That Runs on Systems
Install the systems that keep your school moving forward regardless of the challenges that arise throughout the year.
You'll build:
Outcome: Your school operates through clear systems instead of depending on your heroic effort to keep everything moving.
Here's What Life Looks Like USING THE BUILDERSHIP® Model...
Organically produced wins along the way that average thinkers don’t even dare to aim for…
- Kevin took his school from having the highest number of suspensions in his district … to having the lowest number of suspensions.
- Tamishia increased the number of students who were proficient or above from 54% to 82% in just one year.
- Francina, in her first year of Buildership® University, helped her school score at the top of the district in almost every measure during mid-year testing
Why Buildership University Is a Full-Year Mentorship
Buildership University isn't designed to help you understand the Buildership Model.
It's designed to help you build it.
Over the course of a school year, you'll install each system, use it with your staff, refine it through real challenges, and strengthen it as your school evolves.
The result isn't simply a deeper understanding of Buildership.
It's a school built on systems that continue working long after the mentorship ends.
What Your Mentorship Includes
When you join Buildership University, you'll receive everything you need to build and implement the Buildership Model in your school.
