Directions
During this workshop, you will become a catalyst for school improvement by developing the skills of a transformational leader. Teams of teachers, counselors, building administrators, and district administrators will study four distinctive leadership behaviors proven to promote positive change: 1) communication, 2) trust building, 3) professional capacity, and 4) universal accountability.
You and your team will examine research supporting these behaviors and practice to build your capacity. You will return to your school equipped with the knowledge and skills to lead change, address staff resistance, and create a student-centered culture committed to high levels of learning.
