     Effective Leadership
     Geauga City Offices 470 Center St. Bldg. # 8, Chardon, OH 44024

This workshop will help to answer two essential questions: What is an educational leader? How can you increase your effectiveness as an educational leader? The answer to these questions will be the center of the discussion. Knowing yourself better, getting clarity around the situation and acquiring new skills are at the center of principal leadership development. As school leaders fulfill their role, they are exposed to increasingly complex and shifting challenges. Typically, school leaders receive little preparation or support on the job to meet these leadership challenges. This workshop is designed to assist current and future principals in their growth and development as leaders.
