| A Leader's Legacy: Leading from the Inside Out |
| This highly motivational session will focus on four key elements of our leadership legacy, whether we are trying to leave one or not. The truth is we all lead. The question becomes, "How do we know if we are leading well?" We will answer this question through the lens of four critical leadership components: Significance, Relationships, Aspirations, and Courage. Leadership is personal and you can choose to be courageous. This session will provide practical insight into your future actions as a mathematics education leader--our students and our colleagues need us to lead well--and the rewards are a legacy that made a difference. |
