What the Research Says: "Three broad categories of practices have been identified as important for leadership success in almost all settings and organizations. They are setting directions, developing people, and developing the organization. Each category encompasses more specific competencies, orientations, and considerations." (American Educational Research Association, 2003)
Who Facilitates Your Learning: Experienced superintendents and other educators who share useful insights as practitioners lead the provocative, interactive academy sessions.
