The Center for Executive Education Leadership (CEEL) Platinum program offerings have been designed to help you in your professional and personal growth. Participants in the platinum program must attend all three sessions.

Descriptions for each session are listed below:

Influencing Change Across Stakeholder Groups

November 6, 2019

All district administrators who aspire to make positive contributions to education need to be able to both vision and sell ideas within their districts. Research shows that the ability to gain agreement on ideas and changes across stakeholder groups greatly enhances the ability to lead successfully.  Not being able to influence others might actually stall career advancement.  The purpose of this session is to provide aspiring district administrators with the knowledge, techniques, and tools to effectively influence an array of stakeholders within their school district, thereby increasing effectiveness and credibility for additional initiatives.

Fiscal Management

February 18, 2020

You’ve got the basics for building your school level budget, but now you have to work with others to allocate scarce resources for all the schools in your district.  You have been assigned certain funds to “manage”.  Now what??  This course is designed to familiarize the aspiring district administrator to understand the basic building blocks to “district level” budget and fund allocation.  You will learn how districts get money, the parameters by which spending decisions are made, and will be equipped to engage in meaningful discussion about the types of monies that flow through a district office.

Resilience and Persistence in Leadership

March 11, 2020

Resilience is formally defined as the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. And it requires a certain amount of toughness.  Persistence is a firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition. In your leadership journey a large measure of both of these qualities will be needed.  Learn about your understanding and use of these qualities and how they might make or break your success as a school leader.
