More than an acronym, our organization’s name represents one of the core skills that great school leaders need. In our newest blog, we explore how developing these skills are how we support leaders to pivot their leadership and their schools towards success. 

When PIVOT launched its first principal cohort in 2023, our goal was simple: strengthen school leadership to drive student success. Two years later, that goal has evolved into a movement grounded in learning, reflection, and measurable results.

In our latest insights post, we share what these first two years have taught us—about the power of community among school leaders, the critical need for people leadership development, and the tangible outcomes that follow when principals grow. From improved student achievement and teacher retention to stronger school cultures, the data tells a clear story: when leaders thrive, schools transform

One of the most frequent questions we get here at PIVOT is, “Why principals?” What does a school get by developing its leadership that it can’t get from investing in other areas? While interventions at every level have their place in schools, we’ve chosen to work with principals because of our own experience.
