The Leadership Shift Schools Need Right Now

School leaders are exhausted.

Not because they do not love the work.
But because the pressure has never been higher.

Raise achievement.
Reduce behavior.
Support teachers.
Improve instruction.
Maintain morale.
Implement initiatives.
Show results.

And most leadership professional development tells you what to do.
Maybe even how to do it.

But it rarely lets you see it working.

We Asked Thousands of Leaders What They Actually Needed

Before we built the Lead On track, we polled thousands of school leaders across the country.

We did not guess.
We did not assume.
We asked.

Here is what they told us:

• We need stronger Tier I instruction schoolwide.
• We are overwhelmed by initiative fatigue.
• We need coaching systems that actually move teachers forward.
• Behavior issues are draining our time and we know it ties back to instruction.
• We need to know what good truly looks like in real classrooms.

The message was clear.

Professional development must be timely. Relevant. Grounded in today’s reality.

So that is exactly how we built Lead On.

Every workshop reflects where leaders said their biggest struggles lie.
This content was built from the voices of leaders in education right now.

The GYTO Difference From What and How to Seeing It in Action

We believe in powerful, interactive, research based workshops.

But we are going further.

At GYTO Fest 2026, leaders will not just hear about strategy.

You will see it.

Live model lessons.
Real teachers.
Real students.
Real instructional moves in real time.

Because reading about strong instruction builds awareness.

Seeing it builds clarity.
Confidence.
Conviction.

When you observe strategy working with students, you do not just leave inspired.

You leave knowing what to look for.
What to listen for.
What to coach toward.
What to protect schoolwide.

The Real Question

What would change on your campus if you moved from:

I think this might work.

to

I have seen this work.
