In April, 2013 Alberta will have the honour of hosting the Canadian Association of Principals conference in Banff.

This year’s conference lineup is truly outstanding!  CAP 2013 will be an extremely valuable event for those attending with thought leaders from around the world animating the dialogue, presentations and workshops that attending national, provincial and state education ministry representatives, school district leaders, principals, assistant principals, and teacher-leaders will enjoy at the conference.  The conference speakers and workshop leaders have been very carefully chosen to challenge those attending to return to their communities with a renewed sense of inspiration and many ideas to foster the growth of learning ecosystems that are creative, innovative, and fully meet the needs of the students in our schools today.

The conference offers an ongoing dialogue on creativity and innovation in both leadership for our schools, and also in the programming we need to offer in those schools to allow the next generation of leaders to flourish.  Innovative principals and district leaders from a wide range of unique schools around the world will share their stories with conference delegates.  Though the lineup for speakers is still being created for this event thought leaders already booked such as Sir Ken Robinson, Bernajean Porter, Richard Gerver, and Simon Breakspear will challenge delegates to go beyond current practices and to consider what GREAT leaders do differently to help students to realize their dreams.

CAP 2013 is going to be an event that will truly transform the leadership practices of those attending in a positive way.  The conference will fill up quickly so please register early to ensure your place at CAP 2013!
