The Self-Weeding Garden: Building School Cultures Where the Weeds Pull Themselves
Description

The Self-Weeding Garden: Building School Cultures Where the Weeds Pull Themselves Inspired by the wisdom of the Gospel and the image of a well-tended garden, this session invites school leaders to cultivate communities so rooted in mission, clarity, and virtue that negativity and discord cannot thrive. Learn how faith-filled leadership, clear expectations, and consistent communication can transform your school culture, strengthening unity, protecting joy, and allowing those unwilling to support the mission to naturally step away. When leaders nurture truth, consistency, and grace, the garden flourishes and every student, teacher, and family grow together toward the good, the true, and the beautiful.
