Due to COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to cancel NAIS SLI in 2020.
Good leadership is a constantly evolving practice, no matter your career path and aspirations. The School Leadership Institute (SLI) is an in-depth residential program that will help you cultivate an individualized professional development strategy based on your strengths and areas for improvement. Each attendee will leave this highly interactive program with a unique plan based on proven techniques.
Prior to this institute participants will take the Leadership Practices Inventory 360 based on The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership®: Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart. Institute participants will analyze and use their knowledge of the Leadership Practices to discuss case studies designed to highlight leadership challenges, meet in small groups, and create a plan of action for taking the key learnings back to their schools.
