#50, Kathryn Jones on Partnering with Like-Minded Families: Insights from Legacy Academy
Description
The keys to a thriving school community are well established. We know that successful schools have strong relationships with parents, teachers, and students; they build lasting bonds; and they encourage the development of an environment where all students feel safe, respected, and welcome.
But sometimes it's hard to see exactly how we're doing it—or even what we're doing. That's why you should tune in and listen to Ms. Kathryn Jones, Director of Administration at Legacy Academy, share her school's story with us. They've done it by working hard to form partnerships with like-minded families, establishing a clear mission for their school community, and encouraging individual initiative from every student in the building.
Tune in now—we'll talk about how they achieved success through these simple yet powerful actions!
