Metropolitan Principals' Academy (MPA) Leadership In-Service Workshop

Lead Like A Pirate -- Shelley Burgess

Our January Leadership In-Service session takes on a little lighter tone, yet the leadership content is still dead-on. (Who can’t use a lighter tone in January?) 

Are you a Treasure Seeker? Pirates are on a constant quest for riches, but PIRATE leaders seek even greater rewards: amazing schools, engaged students, and empowered educators who know they are making a difference. In this session, Shelley Burgess maps out the character traits necessary to captain a school or district and shares dynamic strategies to transform culture and climate. You’ll learn where to find the treasure that’s already in your classrooms and schools – and how to bring out the very best in your educators.

Take-Aways include:

· Ideas to help leaders tap into the inner genius of their team to encourage learning and growth

· Strategies to help leaders maximize their time

· Actions to help leaders earn trust

· A coaching model to support leaders in giving feedback that teachers value

· Models for how to transform professional learning in their schools
