In response to those many people who wished they could have attended "How to Get Your First Administrative Job" recently given by Michael Keany at Western Suffolk BOCES, we are pleased to announce a virtual workshop on School Leadership 2.0, "The Ten Most Difficult Interview Questions". Mike will share the ten toughest questions most frequently asked in interview situations and guide participants to the formulation of their own unique answers.  The fee for the program is $50.  However, School Leadership 2.0 will offer a discounted rate of $25 to paid members.  (Hint:  It makes sense to pay the combined membership fee ($19.95)/workshop fee ($25.00) for a total of $44.95.)  You'll have a savings of over $5.00, and you'll be eligible for discounted fees for members when future workshops are offered.

April 27, 2011 - APPR: How Will Principals Be Evaluated? w/Dr. Larry Aronstein 

Presenter: Dr. Larry Aronstein

Registration link: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1422144673

The new APPR regulations will call for the principal of any school with grades 4 thru 8 to be evaluated beginning during the 2011-2012 school year. How should district plans be developed to effectively evaluate principals? What leadership standards should be used? What assessment approaches should be used?

Participants will take away:

• an understanding of the APPR legislation and up-to-date information on the status of the regulations as they relate to principals;
• how to incorporate leadership standards and performance indicators such as ISLLC and the work of Douglas Reeves into your plan;
• understanding of how value-added models will be used in the evaluation;
• how supervisors of principals should be trained to carry out the assessment approaches;
• how to use a variety of assessment approaches in obtaining multiple measures to generate useful evidence for principal evaluation.

April 28, 2011 - The Intentional Teacher:  Cultivating Intrinsic Motivation to Fuel Effort and Student Success w/Joan Fretz

 Presenter: Joan Fretz

Registration link: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1520368463

Intentional teachers employ a framework of practices that invite students to choose beneficial behaviors and lead them to realizing their full potential.  Rather than rely on the threat of assessments or extrinsic rewards, Intentional Teachers focus on cultivating intrinsic motivation and growth mindsets, which inspire students to value effort, crave challenge and persist in the face of obstacles.  Join us as we explore intentional practices for focusing attention, developing positive self-concepts and creating optimal learning experiences for all of our students.  This workshop is recommended for teachers and administrators at all levels of education.
