It is easy to get trapped in your office handling student discipline, solving problems for staff members and meeting with parents. How does an AP remain focused on important things like: growing teacher effectiveness, building relationships for a positive culture and staying up with current trends? This year’s theme is Navigating Change: Leading with Equity, Innovation, and Resilience will support that learning, leading, and growth! Come to the AP Summit to lead, learn and grow with your colleagues! This summit is for APs and Deans by APs and Deans. January is the perfect time of year to take a few days to recharge, fuel up and fire up with new ideas and return to the building to finish the year strong. The event of the year specifically designed for Assistant Principals, Deans & ADs is scheduled for Jan. 27 & 28th at Soaring Eagle Resort in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.
