Stop Playing School.
Start Making a Ruckus.

Transform Your First 90 Days from Chaos to Confidence

You know how most principals are struggling to engage students, retain staff, and keep the main thing the main thing?

This usually means they’re stuck being an administrator – doing what has always been done on their campus, but a bit better. It’s uninspiring.

So instead of helping principals become better administrators, what we do is develop leaders, innovators, and visionaries in education.

And this year at our annual summer live event: we’re teaching school leaders how to create a rock-solid entry plan and find the swagger to execute it.

Why Most School Leaders Struggle (And Why Ruckus Makers Thrive)

Instead of asking “How can we improve?” we ask “What if we started from scratch?” Most Let’s be honest about what holds leaders back:

1. Initiative Overload – Starting strong but losing momentum
2. Isolation in Leadership – Having “All the answers” is exhausting
3. The Implementation Gap – Great ideas that never see daylight
4. Resistance to Change – Fighting the “we’ve always done it this way” mindset
5. Lost Focus – When everything’s important, nothing is

As Ben Franklin said, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” But not all plans are created equal.

When you attend The Ruckus Maker 90-Day School Impact Intensive, you’ll walk away with:

• A battle-tested 90-day entry plan you’ll actually implement (not another binder that collects dust)
• Proven systems to engage students, empower staff, and create a campus worth showing up for
• Deep connections with fellow Ruckus Makers who refuse to accept “that’s how we’ve always done it”
• Stories that inspire your staff and spread by word of mouth
