Trevista hosted a Platinum Visit through Leverage Leadership, an honor we received to elevate our leadership practices, school culture, and academic progress. The team at Leverage Leadership, led by Paul Bambrick-Santoyo, included 33 school leaders from across the country and around the world. After reviewing our school year launch – including hours of video, plans, and reflections – they spent a day observing our teaching, instructional coaching, and leadership in action.
Trevista was awarded the Platinum School Award, making us the eighth school in the entire country to receive this special recognition. This was an amazing celebration for our staff and a deeply validating experience, which is a rare gift in the world of education.
Some of the quotes they shared with us from the Leverage Leadership team:
“Trevista’s welcoming atmosphere and positive culture reflect a deep commitment from staff that goes far beyond the norm.”
“Students feel affirmed, respected, and safe; they engage with joy.”
“This is a school where I would send my children.”
Beyond the recognition, we also received valuable feedback and actionable next steps. We reviewed this action plan during our first School Accountability Board Meeting. You can review the slides linked here.
