Testimonials
Don't just take our word for it.
Overall, the most important strength is the women in the group. I have thought the activities have been thought provoking, intended to engender professional growth, and relevant to teh myriad things we deal with every day.
I have become more conscious of my role as a woman in a leadership position. It has allowed me to understand expectations differently and how I can support my women leaders in the district.
I don't think I gave (female leadership) much thought prior to this work and now it has helped me to navigate situations better with this awareness.
This group and series have inspired me to want to connect other female leaders, ensure they have a space and voice in all settings, and to empower others.

Special Education IEP Team Chairs InstituteSpecial Education IEP Team Chairs Institute
Create a climate of trust while navigating key obligations.
The team chair is integral in ensuring that the needs of all parties are met. This requires a skillful balancing of curriculum, instruction, student services and family engagement, along with strong relationships with colleagues, students and families. Unfortunately, this work can become conflict-driven, complex and isolating with few occasions for turning experience into wisdom. In a process where optimism, positivity, and belief in the process is critical, you must hone your ability to read the room, set the tone, model and deal with the physical and emotional manifestations of stress.
In this program, you will learn to lead meetings where everyone recognizes that they have shared goals, how to navigate the demands from each stakeholder, and to leverage your daily interactions into opportunities for growth.
