It's been a great day at K-State as we work with 260 leaders and mentors as part of our collaboration with #KELI. This partnership allows new leaders a chance to receive professional learning while in their first year of mentoring! Thanks to Mischel Miller for your partnership!

#KELI meetings provide new leaders a space to share, express, and learn all with the supporting guidance of a mentor! Principals and superintendents were able to break into small groups for intentional conversation around leadership challenges they face. #edleadershipmatters
