2022 Utah Rural Schools Conference

How do schools and districts build leaders’ capacity to create the conditions that ensure excellence and equity for every student in every classroom? In this interactive session participants will learn about five leadership principles that can be used as a foundation to build the capacity of a core group of school and district leaders to accomplish their school and/or districts’ mission and vision for student success and increase alignment and coherence district wide.

In whole group and small group discussions, participants will:

Learn about five leadership principles that can be used to promote excellent and equitable outcomes for students

Identify the ways in which school and district leadership is aligned and coherent to ensure student success

Examine a tool (Journey Map) for leaders to reflect on their practice and identify actions and commitments

Create an action plan for how this learning could be implemented in their settings

Participants will leave with examples of how leadership capacity can be built school- or district-wide, including sample tools and templates used to focus on problems of practice, create action plans for building leadership capacity, and identify leadership roles that lead to systemic and systematic changes that inform ongoing professional learning.
