Instructional Leadership Seminars
The QTL Instructional Leadership Seminar is a three-day Instructional Leadership program designed to provide building and district level administrators an
understanding of the instructional strategies and principles emphasized in The QTL™ Process.
Leadership is the Key
Quality teaching occurs throughout a school only when administrators are prepared to support and encourage the planning and work that are required. The Instructional Leadership Seminars address strategies for supporting teachers engaged in QTL™
programs, giving administrators who are supporting the process a '2-Lap Lead' that prepares them for what's ahead.
Outcome:
- Principals build capacity and buy-in; Principals develop leadership to sustain school improvement initiative.
