Iowa Leadership Academy coming in 2019

Iowa’s Area Education Agencies (AEAs) are partnering with McREL (a highly regarded educational research and development organization that offers professional development for educators) to offer the “Iowa Leadership Academy” beginning June 2019. The focus of this learning for school leaders will be around the tenants of implementing and managing change along with establishing a clear focus for school improvement.

At this time, we are seeking potential interest from districts. This information will be used to determine the three locations (west, central, east) for the academies. (A fourth location may be added depending on district interest and locations.) Anticipated cost is $400 per person with special pricing for teams of four or more. (McREL recommends at least two people per district for maximum district impact.)

Access the survey to share your district’s interest in this opportunity. (It will take less than two minutes!) Your information will help me advocate for a site that will minimize travel time. Please submit your response by 4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 25.

Attached is a flyer that includes more specifics about this leadership series.
