When a school is struggling, what does it take to turn it around? It’s a delicate yet radical transformation of nearly all facets of school life—from curriculum to instruction to culture. It’s even harder when a leader is new to a school, as is often the case. They must build meaningful and collaborative relationships, respect the expertise of those already in the building, and foster trust with the whole community. So how do leaders navigate this work? To find out, Edutopia contributing editor Brittany Collins, M.Ed. spoke with Kevin Sotomayor, recipient of the 2023 K–12 Dive Award for Principal of the Year and current leader of Isaac Middle School in Phoenix, Arizona. He’s dedicated his career to school transformation, not only leading several turnaround efforts but also starting a school of his own before joining IMS. Sotomayor told Edutopia how he uses data, deep listening, and direct communication to drive change as a leader. Read the full interview here:
