Focus:
Professionalism, Ethics, and Communication:
We need to focus on professionalism beyond the beginning of the year review of the code of conduct. This session is a deeper-level look at building a culture of professionalism, ethical behavior, and effective communication at your school. If you can achieve these goals, you will have eliminated a huge percentage of time-killers and driven your school more into the real priority of learning. Don’t miss this learning experience.Who should attend?

What is the format?
The essential piece that makes these groups work is the coming together of individuals to form a cohort. Our sessions will always be driven by reflection, conversation, and the needs of the participants. You learn from each other in ways that would be difficult to replicate by yourself.
The guiding framework for our 2017-2018 study will be the eight performance standards (LAPS) from the Georgia Leadership Keys Effectiveness System. We will take a deeper dive into each standard and focus on practical application in leading an effective school.
