A School Leadership Approach to Connecting with Every Student
Tools to Help School Leadership Teams
In this webinar, our panel demonstrates strategies from WhyTry’s new Transformational Leader Administrators Toolkit, designed to help school leadership teams to create a shift in perspective with teachers and staff toward building relationships that motivate and inspire. This toolkit can be a great resource for school improvement plans, faculty meetings, professional development, PLCs, and building capacity for creating a more caring culture in schools.
