Principals and other executive leaders are uniquely positioned to
transform the schools and communities they serve. To accomplish this,
incoming executives must enter the role at full speed, ready to address
the never-ending menu of priorities assigned to the position. KASA is
pleased to offer its members a highly exclusive experience designed to
build confidence and capacity to thrive as leader of the school they
serve.
This will not be your typical leadership development program.
KASA believes its members already possess many of the technical and
interpersonal skills that have helped them to achieve their current
role. Instead, this program will focus on cultivating an expansive,
agile leadership mindset with the capacity to embrace innovation, build
coalitions, and achieve sustainable change. This is transformative leadership.
