6 Weeks to Safer Teams
A practical, text-based guide for school leaders to build psychological safety across their staff team—one staff meeting at a time.
Safe House Schools: 6 Weeks to Safer Teams is a structured guide for school leaders who want to build a more open, connected, and trusting school culture.
Based on the work of Amy Edmondson, this resource translates the research into a simple 6-week process you can facilitate during regular staff meetings.
Each week includes:
Clear objectives
Short, evidence-informed content
Practical guidance for facilitation
Steps to embed the learning
When psychological safety is low, teams withhold ideas, avoid difficult conversations, and disengage.
This guide helps your team:
Speak up more openly
Share and receive feedback more constructively
Build trust across roles and levels
Move from caution to collaboration
