2016-2017 New Superintendents Academy

Executive Summary 

Objective: To provide beginning Oregon Superintendents an opportunity to create a collaborative learning network focused on key leadership skills and practical strategies to help improve their individual school districts.  Participants will attend a series of workshops throughout the 2016-17 school year, scheduled in conjunction with key COSA events and conferences.

Goals: Each of the workshops listed below will be organized around a presentation related to a designated leadership topic.  Perspectives unique to ESD’s and districts of varying sizes will be included in each workshop. Following each presentation, time will be provided for participants to ask questions as well as to share immediate concerns and strategic issues with experienced Superintendents.  All participants will have the opportunity to share district and ESD-specific procedures and processes for feedback from experienced Superintendents.  Those participants who wish to earn 4 graduate level credits toward the Continuing Administrative License (CAL) must register through Portland State University. The COSA Institute hours may be used as part of the field experience required for the CAL credits.
