As a recently-appointed Assistant Superintendent, Director, District Principal, you have the privilege and responsibility of working in many contexts.  From walking alongside your District's educational leaders to transform learning, to serving as a corporate executive to your Board of Education, your roles and responsibilities are vast and complex.  The two half days of online learning will be interactive and designed to promote collaboration with colleagues by having each participant explore their leadership "Presence" in four of the seven British Columbia School Superintendents Association (BCSSA) Dimensions of Practice:
