Each CoP table group is invited to share a brief reflection on your Community of Practice discussion. Your insights will help extend this collective learning experience at the 2025 CASS Fall Learning Conference.

As a result of participating in the CoP activity, what new perspectives or practices has your group identified that will inform your collective professional growth and system education leadership practice?

Our staff continue to be are experiencing increasing levels of stress (including our leaders), and it is important that we begin by supporting principals in strengthening the soft skills needed to foster effective, school-based problem solving. Using case-based scenarios can help administrators practice thoughtful, relationship-centered approaches and build confidence in addressing challenges. Too often, situations are escalated prematurely without first taking the time to build understanding, trust, and context at the school level. Strengthening these practices will help create more sustainable and responsive solutions.
