School leaders will explore the 12 classroom leadership strategies grounded in The Catalyst Approach’s applied research across more than 50,000 classrooms. Designed to build understanding of the teacher skills that create effective learning environments, this course emphasizes the importance of practicing the strategies alongside teachers and supporting their consistent use throughout the school.

The strategies focus on building meaningful connections with students, shifting student attention, maximizing engagement during lessons, and promoting student success during independent learning. Administrators will gain insight into how these practices can disrupt common patterns of frustration, confusion, and inequity while creating more positive, productive learning environments.

This interactive and engaging course provides real-world, tangible examples, purposeful reflection, and opportunities to collaborate and practice with fellow school leaders. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of the skills, practical experience using them, and strategies for leading their schools.
