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. In the Educational Leadership Program each Learning Community is co-facilitated by two instructors who follow the cohort through the entirety of the program. Enrollment in the Educational Leadership Program begins annually in August.
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.
