Program Delivery
The Educational Leadership Program is delivered through a Learning Community. The Learning Community participants meet together one weekend a month over a twenty-month period. While Learning Communities come together on a regular, scheduled basis, each Learning Community and the nested groups within this structure often create supplementary group time beyond the mandate of the program. Each Learning Community is co-facilitated by two instructors who follow the cohort through the entirety of the program.
The Learning Community provides a setting for teaching and learning culminating in enhanced performance in the workplace. Learning Communities are viewed by school leaders as the preferred model as they create a social, collegial, learning culture which promotes reflective practice leading to deeper understanding and solutions for PK-12 schools.
