Department chairs and deans play crucial leadership and management roles, bridging the gap between a school’s senior administrators and the teachers who deliver the school’s mission. At their best, chairs and deans help to ensure a positive, growth-focused school culture by supporting teachers and students. Participants in this workshop will learn the fundamentals of leading and managing in an independent school, and will be equipped to provide the predictability and support both teachers and students need. Chairs and deans will leave the workshop empowered to be more effective managers and proactive leaders.

This workshop is for department chairs, academic deans, directors of teaching & learning, deans of students & teachers aspiring to academic leadership roles in independent schools.
