Podcast Episode 001: Andy Van Weele

Written By Dana Kirchoff

We’re so excited to launch the first episode of The Blueprint Schools Podcast today!

At Blueprint Schools, we wanted to share not only resources but actual stories of how schools, their leaders, and their teams went from surviving to thriving.

In Episode 001, we share our conversation with Andy Van Weele, principal at Life Lutheran School. In this discussion, Andy shares how their struggling school of 19 students went from surviving to a thriving, unique, and FULL program.

It’s such an inspiring story.

We hope encourages you, sparks ideas, and gives you confidence to move forward in your own school and role. And we hope you share it with a friend, teammate, or fellow educator.
