ANNUAL CONFERENCE | DAY 2

Morning Reflection

• Looking Back: What new thinking did you generate yesterday? What questions do you still have?
• Looking Forward: What do you connect with on today's agenda? What is your learning intention?

Core Practices

Step 1: Define how the roles of the principal and coach will work together in a seamless fashion
