We Help Good Kids Become Godly Servant Leaders Biblical Worldview & Ministry Mindset Emphasis Seasoned Speakers in an Exciting Conference Setting Featuring: Step Four: Create an Engaged Stakeholder Culture Gathering data is usually a strength of school leaders and staff. We are trained to review and analyze data consis- tently. But do we really implement the plans, tweaking and adjusting as we go along, and see them to completion? This is probably the most challenging job of school leaders. It requires intentionality and passionate relationship building. Understanding how stakeholders can be involved and then truly placing them in areas where their gifts and talents can be used will grow your Christian school. Establishing and strengthening the culture of the school where stakeholders are truly engaged must become a daily priority. Through our work in strengthening Christian schools across the country, a common challenge we find is the need to increase stakeholder engagement. Collaborative lead- ership, intentional planning, a bias for action, and clear accountability are the keys to success as you engage your broader school community. Your Christian school will be blessed when the body of Christ is unified in their efforts around the same goal—giving students a sound biblical worldview education. ■ Jessica Robb is the Christian Education Senior Advisor at Renewanation.
