Educational Leadership

“The veteran professors in the program came from the trenches and were knowledgeable, engaging and responsive to student needs. The hot button educational issues we discussed made me even more passionate about servant leadership and making a difference in the lives of my district's stakeholders. 最重要的是, the educational leaders in our cohort built a strong collegial relationship that will endure in the years to come.” –  John Ulferts, Superintendent-Principal, Shirland School District.
