Will this be your first year leading a team? Are you concerned about managing more experienced team members or managing the expectations of senior leaders?
 
This community will provide the resources, guidance, and tools needed to address the numerous questions you will face in your new role. During our four 90-minute online sessions over the course of the school year we will explore timely and relevant topics, share best practices, collaborate with peers from similar contexts, and expand our professional network.
