As a secondary school leader, you are the driving force behind your building's success, guiding collaborative teams to ensure high levels of learning for every student. From navigating staff resistance and supporting singletons to building sustainable intervention processes within a tight school day, this workshop delivers the practical strategies to overcome cultural and structural hurdles. Designed for middle and high school principals and assistant principals, this event focuses on productive leadership actions to support the successful implementation of the PLC at Work® process.
You will learn to determine essential standards, address common problems of practice, and master the tight and loose expectations critical to sustained school improvement. You will also have the opportunity to network with fellow leaders and hear from expert local practitioners who will share key insights and challenges they’ve overcome—demonstrating that successful implementation is achievable in any building.
You will gain clarity on what you are leading and how to productively support your collaborative teams to ensure high levels of learning for every student.
