Administrators interested in improving how their districts are run are invited to attend Education Elements’ 2019 Leadership Institute Series. The four institutes, the first of which starts Sept. 25, 2019 in Denver, aim to help administrators become better leaders and improve how their teams work together. To register, visit bit.ly/LeadershipInstitutes2019.
“Leadership Institute attendees are surrounded by like-minded, passionate leaders and have the opportunity to delve deeply into the ways their teams work, plan, collaborate, and communicate – which forms the foundation of success for students and teachers,” said Anthony Kim, CEO of Education Elements. “By being immersed in these 2-day sessions, attendees will come away with new strategies to help their districts thrive.”
The Leadership Institutes each will take place over two days from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Denver.
Shelley Muto, director of student services for the Jeannette City School District and a previous Education Elements Leadership Institute participant, said “We had a huge shift in leadership – so the Education Elements' Institute was helpful in planning for that change, determining what direction we want to go, and how do we get everyone on board with us.”
The Leadership Institutes are:
