Customized District Leadership Professional Development
ESCFC
consultants work with district leadership to design and deliver
on-site professional development experiences that are aligned with
district goals. A number of delivery models may be utilized in the
customized design (i.e. book study, specific training programs,
leadership skills development, adaptive schools processes, etc.).
Different configurations may also be identified for targeted learning
experiences (i.e. central office team, principals, directors, etc.).
It is highly recommended that teams not exceed 12-15 members, and
that monthly team meetings are scheduled for this experiences (2
½ to 3 hours per session).
