This session demonstrates the effectiveness of shared school leadership in actionK-12 School leaders will understand the following: 1. Why use leadership teams in your school? 2. What areas of responsibilities can leadership teams take on? 3. Selection of your leadership team personnel. 4. Avoiding pitfalls. 5. What's the principal's role in the leadership team process? This will not be a sit and get session but rather a discussion led session that will capitalize on my 18 years of experience in school leadership as well as the experience in the room (other school leaders that use effective leadership teams).
