Diving deeper into using KASAB to plan for professional learning that is outcome-focused. I'm anticipating the impact all my learning will have on educators & student outcomes!

📚focus on KASAB "creates the potential for transformational change"

Yes, I have. Try to redirect the conversation back to instructional practices focusing on support. Stay neutral in the convo. Reiterate your trust & confidentiality to your teachers. Leadership is the #1 cause of attrition & rather than compromise my integrity, I transferred the next school year.
