2026 Small Schools Summit

The Small Schools Summit has equipped you with new insights, strategies, and connections, but real change happens when you translate learning into focused action. In this closing cohort session, you'll craft a personalized 90-day action plan grounded in the learning journey you've been following throughout the summit, whether that's financial sustainability, strategy and systems, or people and team. 

This session is structured to help you leave with clarity and momentum. You'll reflect on your journey-specific learnings and identify the highest-impact strategies to implement first. Working individually and collaboratively, you'll create a concrete action plan with defined milestones, timelines, and success indicators for your first 90 days back at school. Your cohort will serve as accountability partners, committing to support one another's progress through check-ins, resource sharing, and virtual problem-solving sessions.
Before we close, you'll share your commitments with your cohort, building a network of peer support that extends well beyond this summit. Leave with your plan in hand, trusted colleagues in your corner, and the confidence that the work you've started here will continue to unfold in meaningful ways at your school.
