In these workshops, participants will consider how the responsibilities of principals have expanded to include not only managerial tasks but also the responsibilities of instructional leaders. This transformation demands visionary building leaders who must be able to accept different pedagogies and education structures in order to focus on every student’s individual learning needs.
