San Joaquin Valley School Leadership Institute Sponsored
by Dates: Monday-Thursday in July 31 – August 4 At the dawn of the New Millenium, it is clear that more responsibility for decision-making about educational issues is shifting to school sites. Along with this responsibility comes a need for strong leadership skills by principals and assistant principals. The San Joaquin Valley School Leadership Institute has been established to strengthen the leadership and decision-making skills of school principals and assistant principals in the region. Through lectures and dialogue with nationally distinguished scholars on educational leadership and workshops with veteran school principals, institute participants will have an opportunity to use and assess their leadership skills and work with others to strengthen them. The Institute curriculum will focus both on past as well as newly emerging ideas about leadership, particularly school leadership. In addition, participants will be introduced to the many resources on the Internet that are available to school leaders. Institute participants will complete their work with the confidence that they are current on new ideas about leadership and that their skills have been updated. The Institute schedule is also designed to support the need for leaders to establish and maintain networks of colleagues. Regular opportunities will be provided for participants to become better acquainted in social settings. The Institute will be held at the newly remodeled University of California Center in Fresno. The Center is home to the UC Merced Division of Professional Studies, the University of California Educational Research Center, and programs that serve K-12 students and teachers throughout the San Joaquin Valley.
