AA #3801 Self-Care for Leaders (07876) – Chicago Heights, IL

Presenter: Dr. Evisha Ford

Special education professionals must fill the multifaceted roles of the compliance manager, instructional leader, and program developer. The requisite soft skills and creative demands of this forward-facing role underscore the imperative nature of self-reflection and personal awareness that is only accompanied by adequate self-care. The practice of self-care is an afterthought for many educators and leaders as it may seem superfluous, optional, and inconvenient. This administrative academy is designed to underscore the critical importance of self-care for educational leaders which can be developed for both an in-person or virtual audience. This administrative academy will connect self-care to the Illinois Performance Standards for School Leaders in order to create a culture that supports effective effort (VI. c.).

THIS SESSION IS HYBRID, WITH A 3-HOUR IN-PERSON AND 3-HOUR INDEPENDENT WORK WHICH INCLUDES A REQUIRED ACTIVITY THAT REQUIRES THE BOOK AS PART OF THE AA CREDIT.
