Leadership Development for Educators

Categorized Under: Education

 

 

This webinar will cover the basics of how teachers can become better leaders and opens the door for teachers to undertake leadership activities and exercises that can help them become better leaders. It also builds on work from 1956 documenting that teaching is leadership.

Today, with large, diverse classrooms and ever greater demands on teachers, our teachers can benefit greatly by becoming better leaders in the classroom and in their interactions in their schools. Students look up to teachers to be leaders, and very few of our 3.7 million PreK-12 teachers today have the benefit of taking structured leadership training courses to help them day in and day out. It is the goal of leadership training for teachers that this is not another thing to add to their busy schedules, but rather that through learning some of the key elements, rubrics, and theories on how to become better leaders, teachers will perform their jobs more efficiently and have a less impacted schedule than before. Ultimately, leadership training can help improve student outcomes, teacher and student satisfaction, and classroom discipline as well as help teachers avoid burnout.

Attendees at the webinar are invited to purchase the book, Leadership Development for Educators, from the publisher, Rowman and Littlefield, or from bookstores and online booksellers. The book is also available for electronic book readers.
