Opportunity

The purpose of the Leadership Academy is for school and district leaders to gain mastery in leadership development and practice through coherent, systemic, and focused exploration and practice in a  networked learning community using whole group and differentiated learning groups.

Engage

UEPC Leadership Academy sessions are intentionally designed to be relevant and research-based, include continuous learning and applicability, are coherent, systemic and focused, and collaborative and professional. Opportunities exist for each educator to engage in standard and customized research-based leadership learning experiences to enhance knowledge acquisition and application to make improvements in their specific context.

The Leadership Academy meets as a whole group monthly, 8 times per year,  from Aug.-May,  for a full day in a networked community of practice learning sessions across a school system. School teams and central office administrators engage in rich, collaborative experiences to facilitate leading instructional transformation resulting in students’ achievement.
