Dates: July 12-14, 2024
Welcome to the first-ever live mastermind event crafted exclusively for the daring, the bold, the Ruckus Makers of education.
This isn’t just another conference. It’s a revolution.
At the Sustainable School Leadership Summit, we unite those audacious leaders who dare to Do School Different™, innovate relentlessly, and challenge the status quo in education.
This is the place to be this summer for trailblazers shaping the future of education.
Let’s face it …
Our colleagues are racing towards the exits and off-ramps of education, but we’re here to stay. And with sustainable approaches to the work, we’d keep more quality educators in the game with us.
School leadership isn’t a mere job. It’s a profound calling, a relentless pursuit of excellence for ourselves and those we inspire every day.
Let’s discover sustainable strategies that not only support our mission but also ignite our passion, ensuring we thrive, not just survive, in our journey as visionaries, innovators, and rebels in education.

Members of The Ruckus Maker Mastermind™ are unique in many ways, but outliers in a VERY important way – they’re sticking put and thriving while their peers are burning out and exiting education.

Why do school leaders struggle to create thriving schools?
There are 5 main challenges school leaders run into when attempting to create a thriving campus experience.
Challenge #1:
Initiative Fatigue.
Challenge #2:
How do you really develop people?
Challenge #3:
We’re all so tired.
Challenge #4:
Operating in isolation.
Challenge #5:
What is school for?
In an ever-changing world, redefining the purpose of schooling is more important than ever. It’s about equipping students not just with academic knowledge, but with the skills, mindset, and values they need to thrive in life. As Ruckus Makers, it’s our job to constantly question, innovate, and drive our schools towards this broader, more impactful vision of education.

When and Where is the event located?
Who should attend this event?
We help Ruckus Makers Do School Different™ — shifting from old and traditional ways of education to new, different, and better ways of education. Are you an innovator? A visionary? A rebel? Then you are a Ruckus Maker and will LOVE this event!
Will this really work for me?
We don’t know. What we can confidently say with integrity is that everything we teach has worked for us and has worked for hundreds of other Ruckus Makers. Will it work for you? Probably. But do you have a bias for action? When you come to Nashville, we’ll also help you create a plan that fits the uniqueness of your campus.
There will also be opportunities to reconnect after the event to make sure you are putting into practice what you created in Nashville.
Is it better with a team?
Yes, it is. Collaboratively creating your sustainable leadership plan and being on the same page from Day One is a distinct advantage. If your team can’t make it, we will still set you up for success.
What networking opportunities will be available?
This isn’t a cheesy event focused solely on networking and we don’t force it. Breaks between sessions and meals are a great time to connect and network in a natural way. Our events are unlike any other in education too because we protect wide blocks of OPEN time — time you can use to think, dream, and mastermind with other Ruckus Makers.
If you’ve never been a part of a mastermind group, we introduced the format to education in 2016. Danny’s book MASTERMIND was a best seller and shares why this approach works. But simply put … during a mastermind session, we will solve your #1 challenge.
Will this help if I’m thinking about leaving education?
You wouldn’t believe the number of leaders who were ready to quit education — then got a taste of our Ruckus Maker magic — and turned everything around. So if you need a bit of inspiration, we can help with that and so much more …
If you made it this far, we know you’re contemplating whether this journey is truly worthwhile.
