At a time when school districts are facing rapid change, rising complexity, and the growing influence of AI, traditional strategic plans aren’t cutting it anymore. In this episode, we explore a bold alternative: the Strategic Change Agenda.

Together, Steve McCammon (President & CEO) and George Thompson (Former President & Current Director of Strategic Initiatives) at the Schlechty Center, along with Michael Leubelfeld, a superintendent who has actually led his district through this work in practice, unpack how districts can move beyond compliance and build the clarity, culture, and capacity needed to lead through uncertainty.
