S5 Episode 10: Instructional Leadership with Jennifer Truitt-Lewis
If you were asked to think of an instructional leader who has had a positive impact on your career and your practice, who would come to your mind? On this week's podcast, Danielle and Donnie discuss the impact that instructional leadership has on students, staff, classrooms, and schools. We meet Jennifer Truitt-Lewis, a talented principal and instructional leader, from the Fort Huachuca Accommodation School District. Jennifer shares with us how collaboration, open mindedness, and an assets based approach to leadership creates a strong teaching and learning environment.
