Navigating the Transition from Teacher Leader to School Leader

Sunday April 19, 2026 2:45pm - 3:45pm MDT

Stepping into a school leadership role is an exciting new chapter â€” but it can also feel like uncharted territory. Was the transition what you expected? Did you feel ready to lead instructionally alongside the colleagues you once taught beside?

Together, we'll explore practical strategies for building trust, strengthening relationships, and leading with confidence as you grow into your new role.
