In education, the concept of “leader” is often reserved for administrators. This false concept has allowed many classroom teachers and specialists to assume they do not have a voice and capacity to impact and influence others. This edWebinar hones in on ten different leadership principles that will move an educator from a successful leader to a significant leader.

Successful leadership says that you’ve accomplished something for yourself. Significant leadership says that you’ve made a significant impact on others. Transformational actions based on these ten principles, such as understanding an influence framework and how to build relationship capital, will impact teams to build collective efficacy. These principles might even challenge assumptions about what it means to lead for administrators and classroom educators by breaking the mold of leadership in education.

Views will understand why literacy leadership matters in education. They will be introduced to the collective efficacy concept that supports the idea that everyone in a school or district can be involved in efforts to promote literacy. They’ll also identify which of the ten ways they could move toward significant literacy leadership that impacts struggling readers through an A.C.T. 24 model of action.
