Panel Webinar Event: Equity-Centered Principal Preparation, A Discussion With District Leaders

May 26, 2022

During the webinar, district leaders will highlight a few key themes that have been on many leaders’ minds this time of year, including utilizing simulations for equity-centered principal preparation. What does it take for principals to lead schools successfully, and how prepared are they? Principals face a difficult task in ensuring that every student has the opportunity to participate in a high-quality educational experience. In order to fulfill this challenge, school leadership must prioritize both equity and excellence and principals must be instructional leaders who prioritize equity.
