Upcoming Programs
New Administrator Academy
August 10th and August 17th
9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
$299/person
This two-day Summer Academy offering is designed for new and novice (2 years or less experience) administrators in a variety of positions, including supervisors, assistant principals, principals, etc. The multiple facets of the job that you just don’t learn from a book will be examined. Through a collaborative and supportive structure, participants will discuss and explore how to address the situations, procedures, and “emergencies” they will encounter as part of their everyday interactions. Time will be dedicated to learning how to review and adhere to policy and code, how to tell the difference, and where each is located. In addition, the importance of thorough and meaningful observations will be stressed and reinforced. Time and focus will be dedicated to conducting teacher observations and “best practices” will be shared that can be utilized no matter the observation instrument used. The afternoon of the second day will be dedicated to a complete Danielson Administrator training on teacher observations.
Location - All summer programs will be held in-person at the Rowan South Jersey Technology Park, located at 107 Gilbreth Pkwy, Mullica Hill, NJ 08062.
