As catalysts of positive change within our schools, administrators endeavor to find solutions to challenging issues such as chronic absenteeism (both teacher/student), building staff capacity, and staining a safe, equitable, and affirming school climate for all. Additionally, administrators are crucial in establishing and sustaining school climate through effective role-modeling of expectations. Even though leaders may recognize the vital connection between staff/student wellness and overall student success, they frequently neglect their own well-being as they triage emergent needs with long term visions. Considering all roles that administrators are tasked with, how can leaders effectively prepare themselves to become truly transformational and lead by example?
