Description:
Meet “The Bombast”, “The Specialist”, “The Naysayer”, and “The P.A.W” (a.k.a. the passive aggressive weasel). These are four specific personas that challenge school leaders in their efforts to sustain school improvement. Unfortunately, leaders rarely have the opportunity to choose the people with whom they work; therefore, it is critical for leaders to understand effective approaches in managing these individuals and to develop the associated skills. School leaders may find challenging conversations with all, however, these four personas require a broader, deeper, more strategic approach.
Course Format:
1 ½ hour online workshop using Adobe Connect – 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM Eastern Standard Time
Discussion is guided by a highly qualified instructor who engages participants in a rich discussion. Participants follow a powerpoint, listen to the instructor, and respond to questions and ideas using the chat feature.
Handbooks are provided to assist participants in recording notes.
Registration numbers are kept small (around 12) to ensure a highly interactive session.
