Elective Session
Women make up 80% of the teacher workforce, but are not represented proportionally at the highest levels of school leadership. Why the discrepancy? As school leaders retire or leave their positions at record rates, having an equitable leadership pipeline is more important than ever. In this session, learn research-based supports that benefit emerging female leaders, and connect with female leaders at all stages in their careers. If you're a leader, mentor, or recruiter, learn how to maximize your effectiveness. If you're an emerging female leader, learn about the supports that will help your career trajectory.
