Professional Development for Leadership Teams

The 2007 Leadership Forums were a great success according to participant evaluations. There were 42 schools represented and over 200 people in attendance. Leadership Teams, led by their principals, appreciated the time away from school to collaborate, plan and engage in professional dialogue and readings. Participants worked as a Professional Learning Community and focused on creating a College-Going Culture with emphasis on leadership.

Forums concentrate on assisting team members to understand the scope of the work of the GEAR UP Leadership Team and their individual roles. Additionally, teams have the opportunity to revisit their Professional Development Plan (PDAP) and discuss the best way to use school-based services. The most exciting part was receiving the GEAR Trust Account allocations for students and then planning on how to select scholarship recipients.
