Using creative practices can be an effective equity strategy when approaching problems of practice in educational leadership as it lifts up the voices of all stakeholders and supports transformational change within the collective educational community. Tools of creativity and equity support leaders to make the changes in their sites that are people centered, and become a model for more systemic changes in their districts.

Releasing the Imagination: Creating an Impactful Leadership Practice is a collaborative learning space that explores the integration of visual and performing arts into leadership practices. Through Creative Inquiry strategies for deep reflection and to spark curiosity, leader participants forge new connections. By incorporating creative pedagogies, we support educational leaders in enhancing school site and student outcomes and using learning spaces to foster mindfulness and healing.
