Come join this year's Directors' Institute 2018-19 Cohort and become a member of the Community of Practice of previous years' Institute participants.
It is so important to have a community of practice of like-minded professionals. Special Education Director position is a very lonely and isolating position.
I have joined these cohorts since 2008 and have developed a strong networking group. Some members have become dear friends.
I think the activities were really great. I started using the Educational Benefit activity, and I did my first group last week. It was amazing: the discussions that were happening, and the ah-ha moments from staff. That activity just was so wonderful in terms of taking it back and having people try it.
The structures the facilitators provided and the different tools and methodologies they offered were helpful in terms of thinking about our problems of practice in your setting.
The partner and group work provided opportunity to deepen my understanding of the concepts being discussed and the opportunity to brainstorm how to bring the concepts into practice.
