We want to change the way that people are talking to each other in schools. This two day lab experience is designed for all leaders. Leadership Lab @ The Lovett School A two-day experiential learning experience for anyone responsible for leading anyone or anything. We want to change the way that people are talking to each other in schools. So often, in education, you are promoted to some level of leadership because you are good at your current job. “You are a great teacher, why don’t you lead ________ ?” You begin to do this work, and you realize that leading adults is hard, not the same thing as what you were doing, and you begin to wonder where the support and training is for the needs you now have. Further, even if you are good at your job, you begin to see that instead of feeling empowered, people are often looking to leaders for instructions, and you don’t have those instructions to give. This can be frustrating, and it can feel isolating. You are not alone, and we have created the L+D Leadership Lab for any leader, at any level that really wants to dig underneath the initiatives and goals of their work to the skills, mindsets and habits that contribute to successful supervisory relationships with their peers. This academy is geared specifically towards: Dept. Chairs (new and old) who are not directly responsible for supervision, but are expected to play a supervisory role with their peers. Do you wonder how much authority you have? This is for you. New or Experienced Division Heads that would like to get more buy-in and build more agency in their faculty. Faculty: Are you a teacher that wants to become less of an expert and more of a facilitator of learning. This experience is built for you also. Senior Admin: Are you a seasoned leader that never had the chance to really think about, practice or reflect on how you lead. This academy will give you a chance to reset your practice and learn new techniques. Other Leaders: Do you often get left out of meetings, PD or opportunities because you hold a job that people don’t really know much about? Are you a program coordinator, staff leader, after-school director or have the same needs as others, but don’t have access to the type of learning that would be helpful, this is for you. If you lead, facilitate, coach or give feedback in your work, this is an experiential learning opportunity that is for you.
