Distributed Leadership

School principals, or any other leader for that matter, do not single-handedly lead schools to greatness; leadership involves an array of individuals with various tools and structures. This workshop examines how the responsibilities and duties necessary to manage a school well can be shared using the strengths and abilities of the senior team.
