Tonight : Sharing Leadership Plans
5 Groups of 4 ~ 10-minutes Each
Give Feedback Verbally
Students will develop a leadership plan that calendars ways in which their leadership will be rooted in data-based decision making aimed at improving culture, teaching, and learning. It should address those issues in a written form followed by a calendar-specific plan that would benefit a practicing principal in the area of assessment. The plan should be designed to serve as a guide for you in your future roles as principal.
