Take the Challenge: Be a Leader Others Want to Follow

KASA is committed to enhancing the leadership capabilities of Kentucky's education leaders, recognizing the dynamic nature of their roles. With a firm belief in providing evidence-based experiences, KASA has carefully selected Wiley's The Leadership Challenge® (TLC) framework, developed by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner. This model offers a shared understanding of leadership, anchored in the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. These practices offer tangible actions for leaders to improve, supported by the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI), which can be tailored to individual needs. By striving for excellence daily, leaders ensure they meet the expectations of their followers, enabling them to thrive even in challenging circumstances, turning them into remarkable achievements.
Interested in taking the challenge and becoming the leader others seek out and want to follow? Join the upcoming cohort (April 25-26) of education leaders who have chosen TLC as their leadership framework.

The School Leaders Podcast

In this episode of The School Leaders Podcast, host Rhonda Caldwell, KASA's Executive Director engages in a compelling conversation with Chris Bentzel, Superintendent of Christian County Schools, focusing on the vital efforts of The Coalition to Sustain the Education Profession. Bentzel underscores the importance of forward-thinking in education, particularly in attracting and retaining the next generation of educators.

He highlights the persistent call for competitive compensation among teachers, a cornerstone in maintaining a thriving educational ecosystem. The Coalition to Sustain the Education Profession, according to Bentzel, is dedicated to advocating for policies that prioritize fair pay and robust support systems for educators, bolstering the profession's foundation.
