A principal shares his first year results after working
with LYS.
SC,
I just retired
from XYZ school district, a district that you worked with two years ago.
As you remember, I was hired to take over an Academically Unacceptable middle
school. As a result of LYS support, the campus went from low performing
to within three students in one student group of being a Recognized
campus. I have attached some charts that illustrate the gains we made in
each subject area in just one year. If anyone ever doubts the power of LYS
coaching and the Fundamental 5, share our results.

SC Response
Thanks for sharing!
But you give us too much credit.
Yes, coaching and support are important, but you and your staff had to
execute the plan with fidelity and urgency. Simply put, “If you don’t work the
plan, the plan won’t work.” As such, the improvement actually reflects the
commitment and hard work of your staff, students and you.
I can think of nothing more exciting and inspiring.
Think. Work. Achieve.
