When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
Fred (“Mister”) Rogers
At this point, I am confident that all of you have begun a new school year. I hope the start has been invigorating and positive. As we move beyond the opening assemblies and the initial enthusiasms, I would wish for all of you a social-emotional climate that was different from the one with which many of you wrestled last year.

Many schools prioritize professional development – for their administrators as well as for their teachers. As such, they seek new and innovative programs that can support them in their growth and improve school operations in different capacities. Many schools look to
Independent School Management
(ISM), which offers a variety of programs on hot topics such as scheduling, fund-raising, financial planning, and enrollment management.
