Tools to help you navigate daily demands.
On a monthly basis, SAIS launches a new toolkit to help you navigate timely challenges and the daily demands of your role.
The People, Priorities, Pulse Leadership Focus Map is a quick, reflective tool you can fill out in minutes to re-center your week around the people who need you most, the work that matters, and the culture you want to nurture. When everything feels noisy, this tool keeps you grounded in what truly moves your school forward. Start each week with the intention your community deserves.
The 4 T’s is a simple synthesis framework designed to make sense of complex research and professional reading. This tool guides readers from raw information to deeper understanding by organizing information and can be used individually or in groups. As you build energy for new programs, initiatives, and professional learning, keep this tool next to your current read.
The Signal Strength Mapping Tool helps leaders make sense of the noise by mapping what they’re hearing and seeing.
The Stakeholder Map shifts communication planning from guesswork to intention by revealing where deeper partnership is needed, where selective consultation is enough, and where updates will build confidence and clarity.
3C’s Culture Temp Check is a quick, three-question tool that helps leaders reflect on clarity, connection, and capacity in their school community. In just minutes, you can uncover insights about what’s working, surface gaps, and identify small actions that strengthen relationships, build trust, and keep your priorities moving forward.
