Tracks: Educational Leadership: Leading with Purpose

Conflict is a significant source of stress that often leads to burnout and contributes to the high turnover rates of special educators and leaders. This session will dive into the crucial role adaptive leadership plays in managing ongoing conflicts within special education settings. Adaptive leadership challenges us to move away from a culture of division, blame, fear, and stress and instead cultivate a culture centered on collaboration, trust, and respect. Together, we will explore strategies for adaptive leaders to create environments that promote innovative problem-solving and build resilient teams equipped to navigate conflict effectively.
