After serving in the Principal position for two years, I was fortunate to have a mentor who gave me quality advice that helped lead to a successful first year. After finishing my second year, this session will focus on sharing all of the beneficial tips and tricks I have learned to have an impactful first year as a school leader. The tips and tricks will focus on management vs leadership, the first weeks on the job, listening and learning, building culture, tools for communication, mentorship, effective supervision, and The Power of Purple.
