Presenter: Kathy Graupman<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Effective leadership begins with emotional intelligence, the ability to understand ourselves and connect meaningfully with others. This workshop\/session will explore two core components of emotional intelligence: internal self-awareness (recognizing our own emotions, values, and impact) and external self-awareness (understanding how others experience and perceive us).<\/p>\n Although most of us believe we are self-aware, research tells a different story: while 95% of people think they\u2019re self-aware, only about 10\u201315% actually are (Eurich, 2018). This gap matters because leaders who lack self-awareness often miss how their behavior impacts their team and organization. The key to closing this gap is feedback, seeking honest perspectives, reflecting on them, and continuously working to grow.<\/p>\n Through reflection, discussion, and application activities such as beginning to create their own \u201cPersonal User Guide\u201d, participants will:<\/p>\n Date: Thursday, <\/strong>October 23, 2025<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Time: 12:00-1:15 P.M<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Planning for a Courageous Conversation (November 13, 2025)” tab_id=”1740506667212-1247120f-2173″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n When courageous conversations do not happen, there are negative implications for relationships and school culture.\u00a0 This session will help participants build confidence in planning and conducting a courageous conversation. We will also look at what follow-up to a courageous conversation looks like.<\/p>\n Date: Thursday, November 13, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n Time: 12:00-1:00 P.M.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Leading with Feedback and Heart: Becoming a Warm Demander in Practice (December 4, 2025)” tab_id=”1740506674276-d63e5f12-89c8″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Details: <\/strong>Effective leadership requires the ability to both support and challenge others by holding high expectations while cultivating trust and care. This session introduces the \u201cwarn demander\u201d stance (Hammond, 2015), a leadership approach that fosters accountability, equity, and authentic relationships by combining rigor with empathy.<\/p>\n Participants will explore how feedback practices rooted in emotional intelligence can strengthen team dynamics and build leadership capacity across an organization.

Teachers are uniquely positioned to take on leadership roles in schools due to their deep understanding of content, curriculum, and instruction. But how can we develop and support teacher leaders while keeping them in the classroom? In this session, we will explore how administrators can elevate teacher as leaders in their schools, allowing teachers to influence colleagues and school communities without removing them from the classroom.<\/p>\n Date: Wedneday, February 25, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Time: 3:30-4:30 P.M.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”A Balanced Focus: Prioritizing Accountability in a Post-COVID World (March 5th, 2026)” tab_id=”1741275621714-752ef9d9-e817″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Details:<\/strong> In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools continue to experience lasting effects, including interupted learning, teacher burnout, and a heightened need to support students’ social-emotional learning (SEL) and mental health. This workshop<\/span> will center on supporting school leaders as they navigate the ongoing challenges of the post-COVID era. Participants will explore strategies to help leaders balance the critical need for addressing SEL and mental health concerns with the core mission of ensuring high-quality instruction and student achievement.
