On Campus Expand your repertoire of management skills, explore new ways to accelerate teacher and student learning, and deepen your sense of efficacy as a school leader.
Overview
Leading successful schools requires an extensive set of technical and adaptive leadership skills, but the often competing demands of the job can make it difficult to find time to reflect, learn, and grow. We’ll help you create that space.
The second program within The Principals’ Center leadership development series, Improving Schools: The Art of Leadership provides time for early-career school leaders to reflect on their practice, expand their skills, and become more effective leaders of instructional change. A research-based curriculum equips leaders with tools for effective supervision and evaluation, approaches to solving common leadership challenges, and proven strategies for accelerating learning in every classroom.
