Session 9 of the 2026-27 CALIE Certified Educator cohort meets Wednesday, March 10 from 4:00 to 5:30 pm PT. Participants develop the leadership skills that carry a project through people: supporting colleagues, building trust, listening well, giving and receiving feedback, and responding to confusion, resistance, or competing priorities without losing the room.

Resistance is usually information. A colleague who pushes back on a new practice is often telling you something about workload, past initiatives, or a gap in the plan. Leaders without positional authority cannot require compliance, which makes trust the only currency that works. This session is about earning it and keeping it when things get hard.
In this session you will:
- Read resistance for what it is telling you about the plan
- Practice feedback conversations that keep colleagues engaged
- Build trust when you have influence but not authority
- Hold your project’s purpose steady against competing priorities
Sessions 9 through 12 ask how you bring people into the work, communicate its purpose, use feedback, and keep leading after the program ends. This session opens that arc, just before the cohort gathers in person at Spring Forward.
