What Happens When Schools Bring Me In: A Leader’s Honest Reflection | Dr. Kristilynn Turney

Описание: What does it really take to support the whole child in today’s schools?

In this video, a school leader reflects on a powerful professional development experience with Dr. Kristi Lynn Turney, highlighting how role-playing across perspectives—teacher, student, parent, and administrator—created deeper understanding and empathy among staff.

Rather than focusing on theory alone, this experience invited educators to step into one another’s roles and consider the real challenges each stakeholder carries. By hearing staff members speak as parents, students, teachers, and administrators, participants were able to see the school environment as a connected system—where every decision impacts the child as a whole.

The reflection emphasizes how meaningful leadership development goes beyond compliance and checklists. It helps leaders pause, reflect, and better understand what teachers are navigating in classrooms, what parents are managing at home, and what students experience every day. This kind of work strengthens communication, builds trust, and supports healthier school cultures.

This video offers an authentic glimpse into leadership learning that is relational, reflective, and actionable—the kind of development that helps schools grow stronger together.

What does meaningful leadership development actually look like in schools?

In this video, a school leader shares an honest reflection on their experience working with me—what stood out, what shifted, and why this work matters beyond a single session.

My work with schools, districts, and organizations focuses on:
• Leadership development rooted in equity and impact
• Practical strategies leaders can apply immediately
• Building cultures where educators and students thrive
• Moving from compliance to commitment

If you’re a school leader, district administrator, or conference planner exploring leadership learning that creates real change, this reflection offers a glimpse into what’s possible.
