Description of Activities

The Department of Education, district, and area consortium partnerships sponsor a variety of face to face and online learning workshops or conferences throughout the year on selected leadership topics correlated to the Standards for School Leaders.

This component will make it possible for administrators to receive inservice credits for participation in one or more inservice events cumulative to a maximum of 60 hours.
