The Recently Appointed Administrators program offers numerous hands-on opportunities for new school administrators to expand and refine existing skills and to sharpen decision-making abilities.

The program focuses on exploring strategies to manage challenges while working to ensure student success.

  • Increase understanding of the importance of building relationships.
  • Develop awareness of best practices for social media.
  • Receive guidance and direction for media interviews.
  • Gain perspective on creating a culture of safety.
  • Examine their leadership philosophy, identify core values, and write a personal vision statement.
  • Learn strategies for building the instructional capacity of school personnel.
  • Dive deep into data analysis for meaning and change.
  • Develop strategies for establishing and maintaining a work/life balance.

Taught in four cohort sessions, learning will be facilitated through:

  • Subject-area experts.
