Leadership Strand Adaptive Leadership: Dealing With Change AA 1825

Quality schools utilize the practice of continuous improvement. Student growth and learning should never be stagnant. There are always new practices and strategies being discovered that will enable students to be more engaged and to learn better. However, teachers are not necessarily quick to change their practices to what many might perceive as “the latest trend,” although these practices have demonstrated improved learning for students. How do we, as administrators, challenge and encourage teachers

to be open-minded to new practices and strategies for learning? Administrators have a responsibility to know and understand how to implement change so that they may convey these practices to those with whom they work to be the best teachers possible for their students. Presented by Dr. Gary Zabilka Upcoming dates: March 16 info•register

IASA Academy

THE UNFINISHED LEADER: A School Leadership Framework for Growth & Development AA#3896

School of Professional Development

This academy serves as a guidepost to help leaders understand they are works in progress and to help create a vision for their individual futures. To be the best version of yourself you have to be driven deeply by something. You must believe that you have an impact to make and a legacy to leave. You must know that the work will never be done. If you care deeply about making an impact—and you are willing to do anything for your students and

community—admit that you are unfinished and strive to get better every day. Presented by: Dr. Michael Lubelfeld, superintendent of North Shore SD #112, and Dr. Nick Polyak, superintendent of Leyden CHSD #212. Upcoming Date: April 20 info•register
