Why Removing Underperforming Teachers Won't Save Your School

A principal recently told me she'd "almost gotten rid of her duds." Just a few more underperforming teachers out, she said, and her school would really take off.

I knew different.

In this episode of The 100% Principal Podcast, I break down why removing underperforming teachers won't save your school — and what's underneath every staff problem you've been fighting all year.

If you've ever told yourself "if I could just get this one teacher out…" or "once we hire the right person…" or "once these last few resisters retire…" — this episode is for you.

▸ IN THIS EPISODE

• What I keep hearing on coaching calls (and why it always ends the same way)
• The difference between compliance and alignment — and why mistaking them keeps you stuck
• The six default staff alignment strategies most principals run without realizing it
• The diagnostic question that reveals whether your school is running on alignment or on you
• Why 100% staff alignment is the only path to 100% student success
