In this Webinar

Vickie Echols, author of AI for School Leaders, shows how generative AI can help school leaders protect their time and well-being. Too many administrators are stretched thin by paperwork and routine tasks, caught between compliance demands and the people who need them most. This session explores how to offload the busy work and reclaim time for what matters: connecting with staff and students and building a school culture people want to be part of.
