Recorded Webinar: Special Session with Margaret Goldberg and Jamie Allardice

Virtual, recorded

Principals often find themselves on the periphery of instructional change when they follow the standard advice—adopt the right curriculum, hire a literacy coach, and bring in consultants for professional development. But when instructional leadership is subcontracted out, improvements tend to be inconsistent across classrooms and the work is easily abandoned. So what can a principal do to be the leader of instructional change at their school?

In this session, Principal Jamie Allardice and literacy coach Margaret Goldberg shared practical strategies for school leaders who want to move beyond managing change to actively leading it, and explored the messy, rewarding work of hands-on instructional leadership.
