Be the Boom

Breaking Sound Barriers in Education

How do we innovate in an industry resting on repetition? How does an airplane take off? How do we build an educational culture where the status quo is ruptured, graduation rates increase, and students thrive?

Students today are taking tests that aren’t going to help them in the real world. We need to uproot the system to shift from benefiting the teacher to the student. Niched in education, this presentation explores 22 different case studies of principals having breakthrough results. You’ll find out how to learn from the exceptional, build momentum, break sound barriers, and accelerate into success. These principles can transfer to innovators in all industries, not just education.

Say goodbye to excuses and hello to innovation.

For educational leaders, administrators, parents, and innovators from all industries.
