Description
Research shows that the workload of school leaders and teachers has increased over the last two decades (NASSP, LPI). What this means is that leaders and teachers are at risk of being spread too thin and are constantly being reactive rather than proactive. Sound familiar?
In this presentation, international thought eaders Peter DeWitt and Michael Nelson will begin by focusing on developing internal and external self-awareness around participant’s leadership behavior and their initiatives. Participants will learn how to use that self-awareness to declutter ineffective practices, understanding how we got there in the first place, and help participants find a balance between implementation and de-implementation.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be equipped with actionable strategies to improve instructional practices, engage families and communities meaningfully, and leverage technological advances like AI to support their leadership efforts.
