You Don’t Need a Title to be a Leader…But if you have a title, it doesn’t
mean you’re a leader!
Leadership is second only to teaching among school influences on student
success, and its impact is greatest in schools with the
greatest needs
Leaders Matter!
Leithwood

Help one person at a time,
and always start with the
person nearest you.”
Mother Teresa
