School leadership sometimes feels like that vaudeville act where the performer has to keep ten plates spinning at once. This Leadership Seminar is a chance to share those experiences with fellow leaders and expand one’s understanding of key concepts around supporting teachers and students such as Act 173 and MTSS, designing effective professional development as well as retaining good teachers. This three week class will culminate in your creation of a Personal Implementation Plan that can be the foundation of your administrative goals for the year.
Instructor Bio: David has been a Vermont teacher, principal and superintendent for over thirty years.
