Empowering Principals for Transformational Leadership
Description:
Just as elite athletes benefit from expert coaching, principals can unlock their full potential with intentional support.
When new principals take on leadership, they face an endless number of new responsibilities—often without training. Principal attrition is at a 5-year peak, with veteran leaders exiting at higher rates.
Imagine if principals were supported to build their skills and grow the efficacy of their teams by design. Two former principals who now help districts coach principals will explore actionable opportunities to help principals maximize their impact.
