21st Century Leader

We will be offering a summer leadership session entitled “How 21st century leaders are using technology to form Professional Learning Communities”. Participants will benefit from learning how 21st century administrators are utilizing web-based resources to form cohort groups of support. This online collaboration uses free web resources to share the latest educational research and challenges facing schools today. Principals and other administrators from around the country are forming online communities to help strengthen their own leadership and skills. Participants will learn how to access these tools and how to effectively integrate them into their professional growth.
