The Force is strong with this one!

Crunched for time today between a million and five different things at ASCD Empower19, so in lieu of a proper blog entry on the day’s events (more to come in a few days!) — here’s a hasty copy/paste job from the session I delivered this afternoon for anyone looking for the presentation resources:

Explore different models for “leading without leaving,” with a specific focus on teachers who split their time between classroom and leadership responsibilities. The balance of duties to support students, staff, and administration can often be overwhelming and difficult to negotiate. In this session, participants will discuss solutions to common issues that come with serving as both teacher and leader in a school setting by engaging in an interactive problem of practice protocol. Anecdotal tips and suggestions will also be shared from two ASCD emerging leaders who have spent the last several years negotiating the delicate parity that is the hybrid teaching role.
