As school Districts across the nation grapple with declining enrollment and chronic absenteeism, the implications for student achievement, funding and staffing are becoming increasingly urgent. In response to these challenges, the recent New Era Superintendents Webinar, moderated by Jacob Hanson of PRP, a Hawke Media Company, brought together seasoned communications experts Dr. Kecia Ray and Shannon Coppa to share valuable insights and actionable strategies for superintendents seeking to turn the tide.

What makes a school truly thrive in today's rapidly changing education landscape? According to a study by the Wallace Foundation, "leadership is second only to teaching" in its influence on student success. More and more schools are adopting collaborative leadership—a model rooted in teamwork, trust, and shared decision-making—to unlock potential and boost student outcomes.

Empowering teachers with tools, autonomy, and support is key to improving literacy and math outcomes, leading to more effective instruction and better education results.

Imagine a world where every student is equipped with the foundational tools for success—competence in mathematics and reading—unlocking doors to countless opportunities. These core skills are not just academic milestones; they are the bedrock upon which all future learning and success are built.

New Era Superintendents is a rapidly expanding national network of education leaders dedicated to a singular, transformative mission: ensuring that every student attains proficiency in reading and math.
