Why Me Power is the New Way to Think About Empower

Description:

What if we were to reimagine how we "empower" educators? In three decades of research, empowering leaders have been shown to create positive outcomes. For too long, we've been held back by traditional definitions of empowerment, which denote giving away power or authority. Our expert panel will share insights from P-12, higher education, and workforce development. Join us in our quest to modernize the definition of “empower” and explore new methods for multiplying our collective impact.
