Building Brilliant Schools What G R E A T Leaders Do Differently

How do you propel student achievement and meet students' social and emotional needs at the same time? How do you transform school culture so that students are eager to come to school every single day? After decades of leading schools to G.R.E.A.T.ness, Dr. Andy unlocks his time-tested pillars that educators can use to transform school culture and increase student achievement.

Using each pillar of his G.R.E.A.T. Leadership Philosophy(TM), his school:

• Moved from having one of the highest dropout rates to one of the lowest in the state.
• Leapt from having one of the lowest graduation rates to one of the highest in the state.
• Won 7 state championships over a five-year period, compared to one in the school's history.
• Achieved consistent student academic growth each school year.
• Reduced assaults and fights to almost zero each year.
