Leading for Learning targets four groups extremely well:

1. Administrators who took Start Right previously and want to take the next learning leadership step.
2. New administrative teams – building relationships around the right leadership.
3. Administrators who need support with instructional leadership and leading learning.
4. Experienced administrators who are learners.

The program continues evolve and we are pleased to welcome back the Alberta Teachers’ Association to our solid list of presenters including: Scott Morrison, Kurt Sacher, and Del Litke. Additionally, in response to the new Leadership Quality Standard, our opening session will focus on First Nations, Métis and Inuit Education .
