Description

School systems across the country are facing significant challenges, often cycling desperately between problems such as teacher shortages, discipline issues, high turnover, school safety threats, and more. These distractions make it difficult for school boards to keep their core mission in focus: providing a quality education that genuinely serves students.

Airick Journey Crabill is known for his measurable successes in guiding schools towards improved student performance—particularly in literacy, numeracy, college readiness, and career preparation—all while simultaneously strengthening the schools’ financial stability and operational effectiveness. In his book, Great on Their Behalf, Crabill outlines practical approaches to help school boards regain clarity and purpose, shifting their attention from constant crisis management to promoting real student achievement.

Through clear guidance and carefully structured exercises, board members are encouraged to adopt a student-focused perspective, reassessing the true impacts of their decisions and actions on student outcomes. This book empowers school boards with proven strategies and essential knowledge, equipping them to effectively nurture and inspire student success.
