What Is My Value INSTRUCTIONALLY to the Teachers I Supervise?
Live Wednesday, August 26th, 2026
This webinar is available free of charge but requires registration.
Principal Kafele contends emphatically, “The primary purpose of the supervision of teachers is student achievement and their continued improvement of instruction!” Due to the complexities of school leadership, it is easy to be so inundated by the non-instructional aspects of the work that the instructional side of the leadership inclusive of instructional coaching suffers. When the instructional side suffers, it adversely impacts the entire school academically. To that end, this webinar will provide attendees with strategies for developing a skillset of instructional leadership proficiency Attention will also be given to creating a school-wide culture of instructional leadership that is conducive to sustaining instructional leadership engagement and effectiveness over the course of an entire school year.
