Lake County ROE Leadership Academy

New school leaders must be ready and able to assume the role of instructional leaders—working on many fronts to improve and sustain student achievement. At the same time, leaders need to manage the academic development of a changing school population and accelerate the development of teachers. These initiatives require school leaders to focus on the management of resources as well as the continuous improvement of school culture.  The Lake County Regional Office of Education Leadership Academy will prepare you for the many leadership challenges of working in Lake County Schools today. You will examine these challenges from the ground up, and clarify your vision of an effective school and your role in leading it. Working closely with seasoned practitioners from Lake County Schools, you will define your core values and understand how they can help you promote educational excellence.
