Learning from Women Who Lead
|
By Kim Cofino
We often view our leaders as having carefully crafted their careers from the outset. But there are as many paths to leadership as there are leaders. Each journey is unique, and as polished and successful as we perceive women in leadership roles to be, they didn't all start out that way.... more

I am beginning to think it best to begin each lesson or unit plan with an overt intention to lead and not manage. Similar to coaching. To allow students to genuinely take a front seat to their learning. If not in the driver's seat, at least to sit shotgun.
