Would you like to learn how to accomplish more with limited staff and resources in your school? Take some time this summer to dive into The Multiplier Effect: Tapping the Genius Inside Our Schools. This is a great read for educational leaders interested in developing and expanding the talent within their schools. It provides practical advice that schools can use to achieve growth.

Expert tips
We know that sometimes the length of the survey can be tricky to manage. Here are some things to keep in mind when you plan for your survey this fall.

- Involve students in the planning or administration of the survey.
- Use your survey data in the classroom. Math or Health classes can be a great opportunity to use survey results to engage students!
