Sometimes teachers feel leaders "forgot where they came from" or are too far removed from the classroom to know what is "really" going on! In this interactive session, Hayward will share evidence-based strategies leaders can implement to create a culture of administrator collaboration with teachers; improve overall school climate and teacher morale; and create a psychologically safe place for teachers to grow, be innovative, and develop into teacher leaders. Leaders will be provided actionable techniques that will help them protect teachers' instructional time, facilitate purposeful professional development, effectively support teachers' classroom management and discipline, and help teachers improve classroom instruction! Get ready to have the best school year ever as you Act Like a Leader, and Think Like a Teacher!
