About the Institute

This institute is designed specifically for recently appointed school administrators. It provides multiple, hands-on opportunities structured to hone and expand existing skills and to sharpen decision-making ability. The major focus is to explore methods used to transcend challenges faced by educators working to demonstrate leadership effectiveness. Institute "fellows" identify and interact with a mentor coach, expand perspectives through cohort activities, and keep reflective journals. Participants broaden their understanding and application of actions necessary for school improvement.
