This webinar with Dr. Anthony Muhammad, author of Time for Change: Four Essential Skills for Transformational School and District Leaders, joined us for an invigorating conversation about school transformation, institutional change, and the game-changing skills school leaders need to transform schools!
Dr. Muhammad discusses the following four skills in depth:
- Communicating the reason (both “intellectually” and “morally”) for the change.
- Building trust (through empathy and reliability) with and among the team.
- Providing professional support (helping people develop the skills so they know “how” to change)
- Holding people accountable
Additionally, Anthony Muhammad answers the following questions:
- How does administrative behavior affect teacher stress and frustration?
- What motivates teachers to enthusiastically embrace change?
- How do philosophical conflicts and power struggles affect school change?
- What is the effect of “initiative fatigue” on teacher enthusiasm about innovation?
