The Unfinished Leader: A School Leadership Framework for Growth & Development
This academy serves as a guidepost to help leaders understand they are works in progress and to help create a vision for their individual futures. To be the best version of yourself you have to be driven deeply by something. You must believe that you have an impact to make and a legacy to leave. You must know that the work will never be done. If you care deeply about making an impact and you are willing to do anything for your students and community - admit that you are unfinished and strive to get better every day. The key element that sets the incredibly effective leader apart from everyone else is their commitment to never settle for less than very best. This internal drive is what fuels the grind and what allows for the seemingly impossible to be done. This drive indicates one thing. It is a daily symbol of the leader’s firm recognition that they are unfinished. It is the personification of never being satisfied. It is the commitment to drain every last ounce of talent from our bodies while we have an opportunity to serve. Non-member registration: $335; IPA members: $235; retired IPA members: $135.

Culturally Responsive School Leadership: Moving from Theory to Practice
First coined in the early 1990s “cultural responsiveness” is a phrase that has become a part of the educational lexicon but not a part of the fabric of educational practice. Seen as the antidote to the hyper marginalization of students of color and growing achievement disparities, few understand what culturally responsive leadership looks like in practice. In this Illinois Administrators' Academy three essential questions will be addressed: What is culturally responsive leadership and why is it necessary? What do culturally responsive school leaders believe? What do culturally responsive school leaders do? This workshop is based largely on the scholarship of Gloria Ladson Billings and Muhammad Khalifa. Non-member registration: $335; IPA members: $235; retired IPA members: $135. Eligible non-administrative staff: $235. Group rates are available. Published time zone is not specified; the displayed conversion uses Central Time and must be confirmed with the organizer.

The Unfinished Leader: A School Leadership Framework for Growth & Development
This academy serves as a guidepost to help leaders understand they are works in progress and to help create a vision for their individual futures. To be the best version of yourself you have to be driven deeply by something. You must believe that you have an impact to make and a legacy to leave. You must know that the work will never be done. If you care deeply about making an impact and you are willing to do anything for your students and community - admit that you are unfinished and strive to get better every day. The key element that sets the incredibly effective leader apart from everyone else is their commitment to never settle for less than very best. This internal drive is what fuels the grind and what allows for the seemingly impossible to be done. This drive indicates one thing. It is a daily symbol of the leader’s firm recognition that they are unfinished. It is the personification of never being satisfied. It is the commitment to drain every last ounce of talent from our bodies while we have an opportunity to serve. Non-member registration: $335; IPA members: $235; retired IPA members: $135.
