Public Education Leadership Project
What You Will Learn
This rich learning experience features faculty presentations, case studies, and dynamic discussions with faculty and other public education leaders whose insights will help you grow both during the program and well beyond. As you analyze management and leadership best practices in successful school districts, businesses, and nonprofit organizations, you will broaden and deepen your leadership and management capabilities, improve your ability to deliver measurable results—and learn how to establish a culture of high expectations and accountability.
Participants should expect to spend at least 9-12 hours on self-paced case preparation prior to attending the program. Case materials will be made available approximately two weeks prior to program start.
