GREAT LEADERSHIP → GREAT INSTRUCTION → GREAT ACHIEVEMENT
 It is easy for our jobs to be consumed with compliance and regulatory activities regarding special education and yet one of our main goals is to increase the academic and overall growth of students with disabilities (and ALL students). This interactive online webinar series is designed to empower school and district leaders with the tools, strategies, and insights essential for impactful instructional leadership. Through four comprehensive sessions, participants will explore effective instructional leadership practices, data-driven decision-making, and inclusive strategies that directly contribute to student achievement. From enhancing teacher collaboration to navigating complex scheduling issues, each session is crafted to support administrators in fostering environments where both students and educators thrive.
This leadership series is presented by John O'Connor, pictured.
