New Webinar Series to Discuss Principals’ Transforming Roles, Preparation

This fall, American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) will present a new webinar series called “Principals as Transformation Leaders,” supported by The Wallace Foundation as part of the Association’s ongoing partnership to disseminate the latest research and practice innovations in principal preparation. As faculty working with current and aspiring principals in Colorado, we are excited to serve as moderators for these webinars.
