October Check-In: What's your biggest leadership headache right now? A. Staff morale/burnout B. Student behavior C. Instruction D. Literacy E. Accountability/follow-through F. Something else

By now, the newness of the school year is wearing off. You can probably already identify what's working—and what needs attention before it becomes a much bigger problem. So here's tonight's leadership check-in: What is ONE thing happening in your school right now that you don't want to still be dealing with 30 days from now? - Staff morale - Student behavior - Attendance - Weak instruction - An ineffective team or PLC - A difficult staff situation - Low student engagement - Communication - Your own workload - Something completely different Drop yours in the comments. Then take it one step further: What is one action you can take THIS WEEK to begin changing it? Don't wait until October to address something September is already showing you. Identify it. Name it. Make a move. And if you're unsure what that move should be, drop the challenge below. That's exactly what this community is here for. —Dr. Turney💖

Here's something new I'm bringing to the Leadership Hub. Sometimes you don't need another course. You need to be able to say: "Here's what's happening in my school. What would YOU do?" That's what Ask Dr. Turney is for. Bring me the situations you're navigating: • A staff member who is pushing back • A team that isn't functioning well • Low staff morale • Student behavior concerns • Instruction that isn't improving • Difficult conversations • School culture issues • Data that isn't moving • A leadership decision you're second-guessing • Or that situation that has you thinking, What in the world do I do with THIS? 😩 Post your situation below, without identifying students or staff, and I'll select questions to respond to with practical strategies based on my experience as a teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, district administrator, and school improvement consultant. No textbook answers. Real problems. Real leadership. Real solutions. 👇🏾 What's happening in YOUR school?

I'll be transparent: this community has been quiet for a while. But the vision behind it hasn't gone anywhere. Over the past year, I've continued working alongside school leaders, supporting schools, coaching educators, delivering professional development, speaking, and seeing firsthand just how challenging leadership can be. And one thing continues to be clear: Leaders need a place to get real help with real problems. So I'm relaunching the Dr. Turney Leadership Hub with a renewed focus: Bring the problem. Let's work through the solution. This won't just be a place to watch courses. We're going to talk about the things school leaders are actually dealing with—culture, instruction, staff challenges, school improvement, difficult conversations, leadership decisions, and the situations that don't come with an instruction manual.
