“Meeting Street Academy is my family. They taught me that I am valuable. I am an asset to the world…They asked me, ‘What is your dream?’ I had never been asked that before. The MSS community gives me the strength to pursue my dreams.”

— Kadelyn SteedStudent

“We come into work everyday truly believing that our students are capable of achieving anything that is put in front of them. Here at MSS, students are provided the opportunity to achieve success through the facilitation of well-educated teachers, resources, and a responsive classroom school environment.”

— NikToshia GilesTeacher

“MSA is a family. Once you’re in, you’re in. They said they would follow our kids from K-3 to college and they actually lived up to what they said they would do. Not only did MSA challenge my daughter academically but it also exposed her to new things that she probably wouldn’t have been exposed to at our previous neighborhood school. Our journey at MSA was exciting and rewarding. They actually walk the walk.”

We know that iron sharpens iron. So once a month, our deans convene with a site visit to one of our school campuses for collaboration and learning. Our shared goals are to build instructional capacity, support healthy school culture, and analyze and interpret data to inform decisions. Our school leaders know that “Collective Teacher Efficacy” (CTE), the perception among teachers that they can impact student achievement, is the strongest predictor of a school’s success; CTE, based on teacher mindset and high-expectations for students, far outweighs any impacts outside of school control. Deans are responsible for inspiring CTE and for leading with data-driven instructional actions.

During our time together, we participate in instructional rounds which entails observing in classrooms with a focus on the essential elements of strong instruction: rigor, focus, culture, thinking, and feedback. After rounds, deans elevate replicable effective practices and collaborate to determine bite-sized, highest-leverage, measurable action steps.

In addition to the important “head work”, deans also engage in “heart work” to nurture leadership soft skills and emotional resilience. We lean on the work of Brene Brown who reminds us that “as leaders, our job is to set a vision and invest people in the unique role they play and support them to work as a cohesive team to bring that vision to life.”

Our deans play an integral role in leading and developing our teachers, who, in turn, lead and develop our students. We value the opportunity to learn and grow together each month on behalf of our students.
