JMU - 6-12 CLC Leadership Academy
6-12 CLC Leadership Academy
CLC® Leadership Academy
This academy will provide the opportunity for CLC leadership in selected schools to reflect and refine their work through an in-depth review of their current year. This process will result in a professional development plan and strategies to promote adoption of the CLC as they move through the next phase of adoption. School leaders will have access to national leaders to share their knowledge and join in collegial dialogue around first-hand experiences and current research in the CLC, SIM, adolescent literacy, data based decision-making, reading instruction, and school change. Registration for this academy is limited to teachers/schools participating in the VDOE State Personnel Development Grant.
