We enjoyed working with more than 30 school leaders this summer through our Art of Adminstration Summer Intensives on line and in-person in Washington and Maine. Thanks to everyone who could join us for this lively and important work! In the midst of the intense summer heat, there are some first signs of fall. We are currently finalizing courses and workshops for the Fall, Winter and Spring ahead.
We look forward to supporting professional development for school leaders and board members throughout the next school year. Board members can participate in our Prepared to Serve project that includes foundational courses, special topics courses, and a continental Board Conference in January. SAVE THE DATE for this virtual conference that will be held on January 22-23. We will also offer our River, Raft and You course for new administrators beginning in January.
The work of gathering wisdom from the past, insight about the present, and imagination for the future is an ongoing task. We are each engaged in ongoing personal and professional development. The demands of our times require nothing less! We hope to see you this year and stay connected!
