The role of being an educational and instructional leader can be a daunting task in many ways. Often, school and district leaders are the go to person for discipline, attendance, parent communication, supervision of lunch, recess, and after school activities and then actually getting in and observing instruction in action, all while ensuring that ALL kids are learning at high levels within their buildings. The question however, is HOW do we accomplish that? The first step is CLARITY! Dr. Garth Larson will help leaders in this session co-construct a vision for CLARITY within their schools through multiple perspectives. In order to accomplish the mission and vision of our schools, we need to make sure that every decision we make, every communication we provide and every classroom we support, has the highest level of CLARITY within our schools. This keynote will provide the research on clarity, information on what clarity means through multiple perspectives and help them identify how they can more effectively Lead with CLARITY within their district’s and buildings when it comes to learning. By the conclusion of this session, district leaders will name their CLARITY challenge and begin creating an action plan to ensure a higher sense of CLARITY within their schools going forward throughout the school year.
