Confidently lead a thriving, resilient, learning team that gets stuff done
Many successful educators find themselves in leadership roles without substantive training on leading teams. Is this you?

You'll see strategies modeled, have time to reflect on your own practice, and process the skills you're learning in a live format.

4. The key to effective listening
5. New ways to boost your emotional intelligence and build the emotional intelligence of your team
