PreK-3 Principal Leadership Series: Competency 1 Strategies

Session 1: Strategies

During our afternoon group work time for Session 1, we worked on a mapping exercise based on the NAESP competency indicators. In the space below, please share some strategies that your team generated (or strategies you generated with your teams after the session). We will then use your contributions to build and enhance the strategy section of our event website.
Note: This aligns with the Lead. Learn. Build. worksheet that was in your folder. Since PreK-3 work is based on implementation and action, it is essential that districts and communities develop strong understandings of possible strategies for action.

1. Team name (e.g., Principal's name, building name, district name, etc.)
