Departmental Leadership Institute
Driving school change from within.
Effective departmental leadership is the key to implementing any curricular change initiative, yet many department chairs have little or no formal leadership training. During this five-day residential institute, participants will learn and practice skills for using departmental time effectively, facilitating meaningful and productive feedback conversations, and guiding organizational change. In the evenings, we'll provide opportunities for informal conversation, fun activities, and great food! Ultimately, chairs will emerge with a mission statement and strategic plan for their department that aligns with their school’s mission and strategic vision.
This year, we're offering two sessions of this popular institute:
Pomfret School | Pomfret, CT
$2,750 with dorm lodging | $2,500 commuter option
"It's good. It's really good. I left this program with a clear vision of my departmental goals and how to achieve them. This was an outstanding week. You should do this."
