The best way to prepare aspiring leaders for principalship is to offer hands-on opportunities to develop the skills they’ll need to succeed in the role. Being a principal calls for originality, innovation, and the ability to work under pressure. Yet so few assistant principals and other aspiring leaders actually get to develop these competencies in meaningful ways that prepare them to lead a school with confidence.

Leader Ready presents a practical framework that walks aspiring school leaders along the path to strong and independent principalship by using a mix of professional knowledge, modeling, coaching, guided experiences, and mastery experiences. Full of processes, action steps, and examples from the field, features include:

- A research-based plan for creating better conditions for aspiring leaders
- Guidance for achieving systemic professional growth throughout the school year
- Voices of leaders, aspiring leaders, and experts from the field.
- Analysis of school-leadership standards to inform practice
- The Implementation of four pathways to prepare aspiring leaders 

A deeper dive into the implementation of the four pathways through the facilitation of participant data gathering, data interpretation, determining leadership dispositions intentions, and identifying areas for growth and development.

Participants will be introduced to the research behind the Leader Ready text and will also be introduced to the implementation process of the four pathways as presented in the text.

This workshop is also an excellent opportunity for current school administrators to reflect on their current practice and make intentional changes to enhance their growth and impact.
