Join the conversation to discuss professional development strategies that strengthen alignment and collective efficacy from the district, administrator, coach or the teacher leader level to lead and inspire your community of educators.
Key reflective question: How do I lead, inspire, coach or support others from my role, so all students are achieving and owning their learning?
