💡During the Diverse Charter Schools Coalition 2025 Annual Convening, NCC CEO, Subira Gordon, M.P.P, hosted a panel where school leaders shared what an intentionally diverse school means to them. At Valor Collegiate Academies, that means cultivating student joy and creating a space where all students feel seen, valued, and empowered to connect across differences.

Even just weeks into the new school year your colleagues are coming to you and telling you they feel tired and overwhelmed. Educators need real tools to help them navigate the persistent feelings of overwhelm and exhaustion that have unfortunately become the industry standard for their roles. 👀 PS - Our early bird discount for Balance over Burnout ends this Friday. December 11-13: https://lnkd.in/eNijmZij Feb. 26-28: https://lnkd.in/ezqsSDSq

"I have wanted to meet and thank my husband's Valor coach for years. I had no idea that when he was flying to Nashville for an education professional development, he'd be coming home to me a more attentive and affirming husband." 💡 Imagine being developed so deeply in your leadership that even your family notices a difference in how you show up. 💻 We're bringing you one of the highest-leverage relational skills during this month's leadership session, and you don't even have to come to Nashville. 🔗 Join our Validation session with Coach Lisa Stone and get your relational tune-up to start the year strong! https://lnkd.in/eP7pKxAA
