How High School Leaders Build Culture & Collaboration with Roland Michener Secondary School - Ep 94

In this episode of Leading Collaborative Response, Kurtis sits down with Kris Herbert and Deanna Sloan, members of the administrative team at Roland Michener Secondary School, to explore how intentional leadership practices shape school culture and improve outcomes for students through Collaborative Response.

Kris and Deanna share insights into:

  • Building a collaborative school culture in a Grades 7–12 setting
  • Creating the conditions for staff collaboration and collective efficacy
  • Starting steps for Collaborative Response, and lessons learned along the way

This conversation is especially valuable for principals, vice principals, instructional leaders, and district administrators looking to strengthen collaboration and culture in secondary schools.
