In today’s educational landscape, disruption and change have become the new normal. In these circumstances, leaders who are adaptive and flexible increase their potential to serve as transformational influencers within their communities. By developing skills and implementing structures that empower those around them, school leaders can elevate the collective capacity of their colleagues and create cultures that promote meaningful learning experiences for all students.
