The Center for Executive Education Leadership (CEEL) Principals' Series - Silver Strand consists of three sessions that have been designed to help you in your professional and personal growth. Participants may register for all three sessions at a special price or may register for each individual session.

Descriptions for each session are listed below:

Creating a Culture for Success

October 3, 2018

Two of the most misunderstood concepts of school leadership are “culture” and “instructional leadership.” Yet both are crucial to the success of any school and are highly interrelated. Attend this hands-on session to define a positive school culture and examine and apply research and best practices for building a positive school culture in your setting. Concurrently as culture builds in your school, learn what it means and what it looks like to walk the talk of instructional leadership every day.

Developing the Resilience You Need to Succeed

January 30, 2019

The demanding job of the Principal can sometimes lead to feelings of exhaustion, mentally and physically, creating difficulty in maintaining the enthusiasm needed for leadership.  In this session, participants will gain understanding of the five factors of personal resilience, their own personal score on each factor, and ways to build resilience within the framework.  Additionally, in this book study format, participants will have an opportunity for full discussion time on each factor in a small group setting with colleagues.   
 

Relational Leadership

March 13, 2019

Strong leadership is the critical foundation of any school/district. It ensures goals are achieved on time, empowers individual staff and teachers, motivates teams to work together, and generates a vision for future growth. Yet, it can be very difficult to get established as an influential leader. This session is designed to help principals communicate more constructively by adjusting their behavioral style to meet the needs of others.  As a result of participating, you’ll learn how to better engage in constructive one-on-one conversations and, ultimately, build the rapport with colleagues necessary to result in effective leadership.
