In the final installment of my Navigating the Landscape series, we shift from observing the moment to answering its urgent call.

“Building Together… From Awareness to Action” unpacks how deliberate policy shifts and manufactured confusion are reshaping the educational landscape—not by accident, but by design. The strategies we face are clear: sow chaos, instill fear, and erode trust. Our response must be just as clear: strategic, collective, and courageous leadership.

In this piece, we explore:

  • Engineered Disruption: How federal executive actions, like the recent EO on “Restoring Local Control,” signal efforts to dismantle Titles I, II, III, and IX without saying so explicitly.
  • Surrendered Power: The pressure on leaders to retreat into silence, compliance, and safety—as if that will shield our students.
  • Strategic Resistance: Why reclaiming power means leading with clarity, building coalitions, and preparing for disruption before the floor gives out.

This is about more than policy. It’s about how we lead when systems are destabilized by design.
