Thank you to Dr. Tonya Merrigan for taking the time to share her leadership journey with a wonderful group of female leaders from across the state at our second session of Women Connecting With Women!

Instructional Leadership focuses on building learning environments centered on student success. Elevate Leadership builds the capacity of every attendee to be an instructional leader! Do you want to learn how? https://usakansasks.sites.thrillshare.com/page/elevate-leadership-year-1
As part of Elevate Leadership, participants learn about the traits of effective teams, how to build them, and how to support common pain points experienced by teams. When is the last time you were on a highly effective team?
Leaders across KS are hard at work today at Elevate Leadership. Leaders are reflecting on the results of their individual leadership survey, and they are spending time discussing leadership versus management and the importance of instructional leadership! Not bad for a Tuesday!
