Effective leaders have a lasting impact on implementation. They know how to create opportunities for change, opportunities for collaboration, and how to measure progress to fuel success.

In this edLeader Panel, we met two strong leaders and heard how they used the Art of Implementing Well to fuel success in their districts. We dove into the three principles of the Art of Implementing Well: Mindset, Collaboration, and Resilient Systems.
