Starting with a Burst: Kickstarting Parent Engagement with Shaka Mitchell
11 Sep 2025
Welcome back to Your Morning Boost! Our guest, Shaka Mitchell, returns today to share a powerful concept for school leaders: "starting with a burst." Building on the previous days' discussions on identifying goals, studying bright spots, and targeting constraints, Shaka now advocates for an intense period of focused work at the beginning of the school year. He draws an analogy from the tech world's "design sprint" and applies it to education, suggesting a dramatic action like home visits. Shaka explains that by taking the initiative to meet parents on their own turf, schools can establish a strong, trusting relationship that will yield exponential benefits throughout the entire year. Tune in to learn how a concentrated effort can set a positive tone for lasting parent-faculty partnerships.
