Leadership Development is a Must-Have
"An organization with a hero is a sign of weakness,” begins Dr. Heidi Eliopoulous, Superintendent of the School District of Altoona. Join her and Dr. Janet Pilcher as they dismantle the myth of the lone-ranger leader, focusing on the impact of collective growth. Discover why investing in leadership development, particularly developing leadership teams in school systems, is a "must-have," not a "nice-to-have." Listen as Heidi shares tactics that drive improvements in student well-being and academic performance, empowering you to create meaningful change in your district.
This episode addresses questions such as:
- What impact does leadership development have on students and families?
- What are some tools and tactics used for leadership development?
- How does a focus on leader development translate into the creation of a more positive and supportive culture within the school district?
