You missed out!
You’re closing out a school year where the results didn’t match the effort.
Now, summer’s barely started—and already, the pressure to plan next year is showing up. The SIP deadline. PD calendars. Master schedules.
And if you’re like most leaders, you’ll do what you’ve always done: Write the plan. Submit it. Hope it actually makes a difference this time.
But by October, you’re the only one still thinking about the plan.
The truth? It’s not your effort. It’s the way we’ve been taught to lead.
Before you open the template, sit down for this free, one-hour reset with Dr. Robyn R. Jackson and learn how to build alignment, clarity, and a vision your staff can actually follow.
Not after the plan…
Before it.
Why This Matters Now
This isn’t just a training. It’s the decision that determines how next year feels.
Because here’s the truth:
- If your plan doesn’t align your team, you’ll be pushing alone. Again.
- If you don’t reset now, the summer will sweep you into old patterns.
- If you don’t get clear, the chaos will fill the space for you.
This one hour isn’t just about planning better.
It’s about leading different.
THIS ISN’T ANOTHER PD
This isn’t professional development. It’s personal clarity.
You don’t need more frameworks. You need to stop the cycle of high effort and low traction. You need a team that’s aligned before they return to the building.
That starts now. Not in August. Not during pre-service.
Now.
You’ve spent years creating summer plans -- SIPSs, PD Plans, New Initiatives. But if your school still isn’t moving the way you know it could… That’s not your fault.
The truth?
Most of the things we create over the summer aren’t designed to create transformation.They were designed to pass compliance.
That’s why your team isn’t following.
And that’s why you’re tired of pushing.
About the event
June 9, 2025 / 7:00 PM
You missed out!
What you’ll learn in this webinar:
You’ll leave with a totally different lens on how to lead next year and a planning process that doesn’t leave you doing it all alone.
Still required to write a SIP, PD Plan, or strategy doc by your district? Of course.This training won’t change that.
What it will change is how you approach it.
Instead of building summer plans in isolation—plans that quietly unravel by October—you’ll learn how to anchor everything you do in real clarity, shared vision, and true team alignment.
So your plan isn’t just compliance. It’s connected to purpose. And it actually works.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This session was designed for Builders. For leaders ready to stop pushing the work alone—and start leading with clarity their staff can actually follow.
This is for you if:
- You’re already thinking about next year, but dreading another year carrying the work
- You’re frustrated by how little traction you saw this year
- You’re expected to lead improvement, but feel like the only one driving the plan
- You want your SIP to reflect what actually matters
- You’ve got a vision for your school, but you’re not sure how to get people to actually follow it
- You want next year to feel different and you're willing to lead differently to make it happen
THIS ISN’T PD AS USUAL
If you’re looking for a checklist, compliance template, or motivational talk, this isn’t it.This is a strategic, belief-shifting reset built for Builders who want to create aligned schools, not compliant ones.
Don’t just finish the year. Change how the next one begins. Join me Monday, June 9 @ 7PM ET for The Lie of Summer Planning.
Because what you decide now shapes everything that happens next.
BONUSES
FREE For All Attendees
Bonus #1: Summer Planning Flipbook
See why your plans stall and what to do instead.
This visual guide walks you through the difference between traditional summer planning and the Builder’s approach—side by side.
You’ll see:
- Why even “smart” SIPs fall apart by October
- The hidden gaps that keep your team from fully owning the plan
- The three planning shifts that turn compliance into clarity
Use this flipbook as your personal reset before your next planning session so you can stop tweaking old templates and start leading from alignment.
BONUS #2: The Plan Alignment Audit
Your school has a plan. But is it aligned?
Before you finalize your SIP, PD calendar, or strategy for next year, take 15 minutes to pressure-test your planning approach.
This simple 1-page audit reveals:
- Whether your current plan is building alignment or silently eroding it
- The 3 red flags that signal you're carrying more than you should
- What most leaders miss when they “check the boxes” but forget the people
You don’t need to rewrite your whole plan. You just need to see where the gaps are before they take hold next year.
Use it solo or with your leadership team before summer planning begins.

This isn’t just a meeting agenda—it’s a complete playbook for running a high-impact summer planning session that turns your SIP from a compliance doc into a shared commitment.

- A proven step-by-step structure to run your planning meeting with clarity and purpose

Use it with your leadership team, your APs, or even solo to ensure you enter next year with a plan your team actually believes in and a process that saves you from doing it all yourself.
