Principals, are you looking for effective, concrete ways to develop your leadership teams, including teacher leaders?

As principals, we are working in an ecosystem that is fast-paced and are expected to be the instructional leader, campus manager, daily problem solver, and everything in between! By creating a leadership pipeline, we can establish a solid, internal leadership foundation that is able to maintain momentum and resilience despite changes and turnover in schools.

 

The leader link year-long membership service is comprised of short, actionable learning videos paired with lead4ward support and check-ins to help leaders grow their teams. For the principal, these videos are about transforming into a leader of leaders. Taking the time to teach emerging leaders how to lead will create a school culture of agency and empowerment for those who lead instruction every day. Leadership teams will learn ways to communicate purpose through all conversations, ask questions that empower people, and create sustainable school processes to become confident problem solvers and decision-makers as they learn from and with each other.

 

The campus leadership videos are grounded in 8 simple, yet powerful, leadership moves* designed to help the principal and leadership team confidently LEAD instruction.
