Anju Bajaj, Ph.D. - Resilient Leadership in Action: Building School Cultures that Thrive

This year’s summit highlights how intentional leadership practices can strengthen school culture, elevate staff wellness, and create sustainable systems of support for students and educators alike.
In this session, we will explore practical, evidence-based strategies that leaders can implement immediately to:

• Embed emotional well-being into daily school operations
• Foster trust, belonging, and inclusivity across teams
• Prevent burnout through proactive, tier-one supports
• Build a long-term, district-wide culture of resilience

The session will combine storytelling, interactive discussion, and hands-on planning to help participants design a roadmap for their own schools and districts.
