The Tulsa Leadership Effectiveness (TLE) framework isn’t just an evaluation tool — it’s a roadmap for professional growth, student-centered instruction, and instructional clarity. In "Empowering Excellence: The TLE Toolkit Unpacked", teachers will explore how to use the TLE rubric to reflect on practice, set meaningful goals, and engage in authentic conversations about instruction. This hands-on session will break down key indicators, share classroom-aligned tools, and help educators walk away with practical strategies they can use immediately to feel more confident and in control of their professional journey.
