Valor Collegiate Academies

📣 We're thrilled to share some exciting news! Our high school, Valor College Prep, has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as the #6 best public high school in Tennessee! The evaluation encompassed key factors such as college readiness, college curriculum, state assessments, graduation rates, and underserved student performance. It's an absolute honor to be among the state's top 10 public schools, alongside incredible Nashville high schools like Hume-Fogg and MLK! At our high school, you'll frequently hear about the "Wildcat Way" - our guiding principle for fostering an exceptional student experience. It embodies dedication, commitment, teamwork, and student-centeredness in our pursuit of excellence in every dimension. This news reflects the dedication and brilliance of our educators and students who have tirelessly worked to uphold the Wildcat Way throughout the year and we couldn't be more proud. Join us in congratulating the Valor College Prep team! Read more: https://lnkd.in/eGy8SQWK

Like most school leaders, you've probably tried to manage the stress of the job through organization tactics, planning rituals, and a strategic approach to your time (all very helpful life tools!). However... Valor's leadership development takes a different approach. Unlike traditional methods focused on fixing the external factors of any given day, we emphasize building resilient internal systems. Our focus is on helping you manage your *response* to stress rather than trying to eliminate stressors, which are often outside your locus of control. This is the conversation we're having with leaders next month as the school year takes off, and we hope you'll join. Register Here: https://lnkd.in/g92rZsKf

We have a few leaders signed up ...thank you Valor for providing this time for educators as they begin to welcome back students.

Free Virtual Summer Session Let's talk about stress. As the new school year approaches and schools prepare for the return of students and staff, the increasing stress levels leaders experience can be a little surprising if you aren't ready for it. With empty buildings and less crisis management to navigate, the stress of this planning period takes a different form, but is already beginning to signal 🆘 to the nervous system that the 'busy' is coming. 💻 Join Valor's Leadership Development Team for this session designed to support school leaders with strategies to manage stress as the year kicks into high gear: https://lnkd.in/eCrmYhpe Don't wait for the first break in the school year to reset. Instead, we'll help you learn how to manage stress continuously by creating small recovery points throughout the year.  #edleadership #leadershipmatters #educationleaders #stressmanagement #education
