MCEA Promotes School Leadership Team Training

Earlier this week, MCEA Board members met with members of the MCPS Executive Leadership Team. (This group - the "MCEA/MCPS Labor Management Collaboration Committee", or LMCC - meets once a month). One of the topics discussed was the School Leadership Teams Institute (SLTI).
The SLTI was created in 2004 as a joint project of MCEA, MCPS and MCAAP (the principals' union). Everyone recognized the importance of school leadership teams in determining both the work climate, and academic success of schools. The SLTI was jointly designed to help local school leadership teams increase their effectiveness. SLTI workshops focus on decision-making, problem-solving, and effective team operations and communcations.
Earlier this month, all principals received a memo about the SLTI offerings for the coming year. Schools have until 9/10 to share the information with their leadership teams and apply for the upcoming workshops.
MCEA strongly encourages schools to take advantage of the SLTI workshop opportunities. Click here to read the memo describing the upcoming workshops and how to apply.
