What do I need to do? First, you must register to attend the training. We will need
your email address as we will be communicating with you during the next two months while you are reading the book. Second, you must read the book! Third, you must complete the two tasks given to you while reading the book and lastly, you must attend the discussion group on October 29th.
How do I get the book? You may contact Marilyn Rice at VCU at mrrice2@vcu.edu if you
would like to borrow a copy of the book as we have 10 available for check-out. You may also check the public libraries for copies to check out. If you prefer to purchase the book, they are currently costing around $14.00 on Amazon and are also available at Barnes and Noble.
What will the two tasks be? Reflection is a large part of any good teaching practice
(whether with children or adults) and we will put that learning strategy to use. We will ask you specific questions throughout your reading time and ask you to complete a short one page narrative at the culmination of your reading as to how the book might change the way you lead your team of teachers.
What is the cost? The cost of this professional development is $20.00 per Director.
This includes dinner! Will I receive a certificate of continuing education? Participants who complete the 2 tasks AND attend the discussion group will receive 4 hours of continuing education. (Note: No partial certificates will be awarded.)
Do you have additional questions? Please contact Marilyn Rice at mrrice2@vcu.edu. Come share your experiences, frustrations, and successes with other Directors as we explore this book together on leadership.
