While the design and implementation of personalized learning requires the full participation of all stakeholders and involves all educators in schools and central offices, the role of school leaders in shepherding this transition is crucial. In addition to serving as instructional leaders who must have a full understanding of how to support the growth and development of teachers, school leaders must also be able to successfully navigate the sometimes challenging waters associated with leading this work, requiring significant amounts of moral courage, communication skills, and strategic thinking. Through texts, reflection, case studies, and discussions, participants will explore leadership mindfully.
