Leaders set the norms, guide the change process, and mobilize staff around the common pursuit of excellence. Arguably, of all the roles that school leaders are asked to play, instructional leadership is the most challenging. By focusing on the CRAFT of Leadership, it is easier to manage and lead for greatness. This session is designed to share key CRAFT practices to use in a school to move from the lower tier of performance to one of the best schools in the nation. More specifically, this session will show how to address the most critical challenges of instructional leadership so that all teachers grow and the entire staff comes together to improve student learning and achievement.
