As public education continues to evolve, leadership transitions are becoming more frequent and impactful. Whether stepping into a new administrative role, moving from the classroom to leadership, or shifting from principal to district leadership, these transitions come with new perspectives, responsibilities, and challenges. Although this event is specifically planned for the Assistant Superintendent, supervisors and principals will benefit from this unique opportunity.
“Transitions in Leadership: Another Chair, Another View” is a dynamic professional learning event designed for public school leaders navigating or preparing for role changes. Through interactive discussions, expert panelists, and cohort connections, participants will explore how leadership responsibilities shift with each position and how to lead with vision, empathy, and strategy—regardless of the seat they hold.
Key topics include:
Understanding the emotional and practical realities of leadership transitions
Navigating role clarity, communication, public relations, and decision-making at different levels
Leading from the middle: managing up and down
Building trust, culture, and continuity through change
Avoiding pitfalls and managing conflict during leadership changes
How a key role in the system such as safety coordinator supports change while also adding responsibility in the new role.
Participants will leave with tools and insights to embrace their new leadership perspective with confidence, adaptability, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Target Audience:
School and district leaders, veteran educators transitioning into new leadership roles, and leaders who want to understand more about how administrative leadership challenges impact each level or each ‘chair’ in their system.
