Description

Join Dr. Courtney Teague in this thought provoking webinar that will explore how teachers can "lead up". With Dr. Teague's guidance, you'll discover why a key to a happy school is adopting a "leading up" mindset that focuses on how you can help administrators be successful - even if they are not the picture perfect administrator. This webinar will define "leading up" ... what it is and isn't... then explore proven techniques for leading up these difficult personas: the Hurricane adopter, the Micromanager, and the Clueless.
