Building Strong Team-Based Leadership
This professional learning module was developed by the DE-PBS Project through the Delaware Department of Education and the Social, Emotional, Behavioral Wellbeing Plan to support schools and districts to build or strengthen solid teaming foundations. The module is intended for both academic and non-academic teams and committees to view collaboratively. Viewers will learn about strategies for effective teaming and will be led through a series of team-based reflections and opportunities for implementation action-planning in order to increase best practices and ultimately lead to stronger systems and successful outcomes.
