Mission Statement
The purpose of the Leadership Academy is to create a forum for dialogue and exchanging ideas and experiences. Using the university as a catalyst, the academy will provide professional growth opportunities for administrators and aspiring administrators focused on dynamic leadership that promotes reflective practice and affects teacher and student learning. Additionally, it will create a network of support for colleagues and establish a collaborative relationship with the university, university faculty, and its resources.
The Academy will hold four workshops a year with topics on timely issues directly related to matters of interest to school and district leaders.
