FOR HEADS OF SCHOOL AND PRESIDENTS
You're the one who's supposed to have an answer.
AI is on your plate. It comes up in board meetings, in parent conversations, in hallway questions from faculty. And every time it does, the same feeling surfaces: you're the person who's supposed to have a position, and the answer isn't clear yet.
That's an orientation gap. You don't need a tutorial on AI — you need a framework that fits how you actually think and work as a school leader. The Field Guide, the When AI Enters the Room whitepaper, and the writing here are designed for exactly that.
THE FIELD GUIDE
The whole map for the head's chair.
AI now lands on your desk from every direction — the board, a parent email, a faculty question in the hallway. The Head of School Field Guide to AI is the complete map for that seat: what AI genuinely changes about strategy, governance, people leadership, and crisis readiness, and what to do about it, in what order. Fifteen chapters written for the head's altitude, honest about what AI can't do, and re-verified every quarter — because a book about AI is out of date before it ships.
Includes the current edition and the next quarterly edition, free.
