Creating Leaders Out of Teachers

Visionary leaders can champion innovative instructional practices by investing in their most valuable assets: educators. But guiding and supporting educators through the often unknown territory of discovery can be daunting. In this webinar, we will dive deep into the strategies that drive meaningful change in instructional approaches and student learning, and learn the hallmarks of top-notch professional development experiences that support educators along the path toward classroom innovation. Join our experts, DC-based principal coach Maya Stewart, author and associate professor at MIT, Justin Reich, and Flip's Head of Engagement, Jornea Armant, to discuss how we support teacher leaders and innovation within our learning communities.
