uLead2025 - Pre-Conference

You chose to be an educator, which says much about you. You care for others before yourself, find meaning and purpose in the success of others, and live a life of service. Just like a llama!
You are also exhausted.
Yet, with so many demands on your time, energy, and knowledge, educational leadership can also be exhausting.
In this session, we will acknowledge the complexity of education leadership and wrestle with solutions that get the best out of us and our schools.
Llamas may not be perfect, but they are perfect for their job. And so are you.

Given the growing complexity of education today, principals must support the development of strong leaders throughout their building. Often leadership is only thought of as a position rather than on the impact of influence. Developing leadership capacity is often an underutilized competency in the Leadership Quality Standard. This session will focus on the importance of developing future leaders (formally and informally) and practical tips for school and system leaders to do this by valuing professionalism and autonomy.
