Session Topic: Effective Instructional Leadership
During this highly interactive workshop, leaders will learn how to mobilize and work with others to achieve shared goals; create a shared sense of purpose and direction; and establish conditions, resources, and processes that enable others to be effective. In addition, educators will examine leading research about the practices of effective instructional leaders.
Below is a note from the session facilitator, Connie Kamm, in order to help you prepare:
