Growing Our Own: Emerging Leaders Conference Provides a Boost
- Are you considering a career change to a different practice in educational administration?
- Do you know someone who would be an excellent leader who might just make the commitment given a bit of encouragement?
- Are you looking for an opportunity to explore leadership practice and recommit your career to excellent leadership?
Reflect on leadership practice, learn what it takes to lead
well, and consider the implications of shifting gears to a different
type of practice, whether you are thinking about licensure as a
principal, superintendent, special education director, or other central
