In this issue, we’re considering what it means to have influence—and how you can use that influence wisely and effectively. You’ll hear from an expert on the science of motivation, who will show you how to create and foster a high-performing culture in your district. We’ll share ways to support and mobilize your teachers, from engaging onboarding to professional development around social media. And we’ll bring you the stories of educators who are already making a buzz with the power of their influence— whether they’re bringing a district back from rock bottom or addressing and redressing inequities in school systems across the country.
