Administration for Schools Amid AI
For School & District Leaders
“Is the process broken — or does it just need redesign?”
3-day hands-on cohort · 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM each dayBook 5 seats from the same school or district and the 6th seat is free.
Who it's for
Principals, assistant principals, and district administrators who want their team's actual daily work — budgets, scheduling, communications, compliance — done faster and better, not just "introduced to AI."
What you'll leave with
- The WIDGET framework — Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, Tenacity — a repeatable structure for deciding whether a workflow needs a remodel or a redesign.
- Randy Smasal's LIFT change-management model — the Elephant, the Rider, and the Path — for leading your team through the adoption, not just announcing it.
- 2–3 of your own real administrative workflows redesigned — budgets, scheduling, staff communication, compliance reporting — using Gemini and Claude.
- A working custom AI assistant built around your own context, plus a 90-day implementation roadmap with named vital behaviors and success measures.
Upcoming cohort
- Cohort 2: Sept 28 · Oct 26 · Nov 30, 2026
“The best PD I have ever had. It is like opening a door to a Toy Store and I can't wait to go through, and I was a Skeptic!”
