AWSP is pleased to offer you two options as we help you on your “journey” toward becoming a data-literate school leader! You can choose four recorded workshops on demand, OR register for our four-part staff facilitated training to guide you through the workshops. This series is designed to help school leaders close opportunity gaps and increase learners’ life chances. Build your school leadership capacity to lead collaborative data analyses with your school staff.

A new school year? Game ON! Join AWSP for an all-new virtual series designed specifically for assistant principals. We’ll help you level-up your leadership, go head-to-head with this year’s challenges, and maintain relationships in the virtual reality we’re living in.

The AWSP Leadership Framework Training is required by the state for anyone who is ‘new’ to supervising a principal or assistant principal. These trainings will be facilitated by AWSP’s Scott Friedman and Jack Arend. All trainings will be virtual. Various ESDs will ‘host’ these sessions and provide pdEnroller information for registration.
