Cultivating a strong team of district leaders at the campus and administrative level is essential to sustaining strong student achievement and positive community relations. Educators today face unique challenges that often are not addressed in traditional university mid-management and administrator certification courses. HillCo Education Group is excited to offer a unique leadership training opportunity for your district. This training is designed for up to 15 central office, campus, or aspiring administrators and will be delivered on-site in your district, customized for your needs and challenges.
We understand that time is an administrator’s most precious resource. That’s why this high-level professional development requires little to no travel and/or preparation between sessions and delivers a tremendous opportunity for individual growth. Over nine months, nine sessions will be delivered in a “think tank” model. Two recognized experts in Texas educational leadership will facilitate each session. Participants will learn from a wide variety of facilitators over the course of the program. With over 30 specific sessions to choose from, the district superintendent or the participating administrators can customize the professional learning to support their unique needs.
While there are many programs offered for Texas school administrators, these specific aspects set the HillCo Education Leadership Program apart from every other program in the state:
- Sessions will be delivered on site in your district saving time and eliminating the need for travel.
- The superintendent and/or participating administrators may choose the topics addressed.
- TWO facilitators will lead every session from our statewide pool of recognized and respected presenters.
- Nine total sessions will be delivered, one per month during the school year, to sustain long-term learning and adoption of the leadership practices.
- Each session is 60-90 minutes in length and requires minimal preparation between sessions.
- Up to 15 administrators may participate from your district.
- For districts with fewer than 15 participants, partnerships with a neighboring district may be formed, so long as participants do not exceed a total of 15.
The expertise of our facilitators is unmatched. A sample of our team members is:
- Dr. Russell Marshall, former superintendent and current CEO of Arrow Educational Services.
