I have exciting news and a curated list of ideas for transforming school culture all tied into one post!!!

Lead Like a PIRATE by Beth Houf and Shelley Burgess has been a huge success and transformed many leaders and their systems since its release in 2017. Now we are PUMPED to announce that Shelley and Beth have joined forces with some amazing educational leaders to create a series of Lead Like a PIRATE guide books. Each book will tackle a specific area of school leadership and be absolutely STUFFED with practical and actionable ideas. They are meant to be quick and powerful reads that will leave you ready to knock down walls to get back into your system and take action.

We are proud to announce the first one has been written by PIRATE principal extraordinaire, Jay Billy. Jay is a rock star school leader from New Jersey who specializes in transforming school culture and creating schools that are wonderful places for both staff and students. Lead With Culture: What Really Matters in Our Schools is his manifesto. If you know Jay, he is an incredibly passionate guy…it emanates from his very being. He doesn’t just write about this stuff…he lives it. Now you have a chance to experience his positive energy and gain from his years of culture building expertise through his book. This book is the perfect way to kick off the #LeadLAP guide series! You can pick up Jay’s book HERE ON AMAZON or HERE ON B&N ONLINE.
