Professional Development One of our main focuses for this cohort will be helping rural superintendents advance 21st Century learning practices while maintaining conservative community support. The sessions will feature leaders from national education organizations, superintendents from other states, a discussion on books and materials and an opportunity to share best practices. Thank you to Todd Dugan, superintendent of Bunker Hill CUSD #8, for helping bring this idea to Illinois. Our programs are always stronger when they’re designed by Illinois superintendents. To close, take a look at the next few pages to see what professional development opportunities are available. As always, please contact me to see if IASA can customize a PD experience for your district.

Dr. Courtney Orzel IASA Associate Director of Professional Development

Thirteen years ago, IASA launched one of the most unique learning opportunities in the country—the IASA School for Advanced Leadership. In the past year, IASA has expanded cohort learning opportunities by developing IASA Elevate Superwomen and Level Up Leadership. In the near future, IASA will launch Reimaging Rural Leadership, a new cohort for school administrators in rural schools. Like other cohorts, this program will bring superintendents across the state to network, hear best practices and develop lifelong connections.

The Power of Positive Leadership AA 3730 The research is clear. Being a positive leader is not just a nice way to lead. It’s the way to lead if you want to build a great culture, unite your organization in the face of change and adversity, develop a connected and committed team and achieve superior goals. Great leaders understand that to succeed, you succeed with people–and this training shows you how. You’ll learn skills to enhance your leadership capability and leave with a practical action plan to bring out the best in yourself and your team. While leaders always need to display positive leadership, in our current situation it is crucial. Presented by Dr. Kelly Stewart Upcoming date: April 25 info•register Leadership Strand
