This year's Summer Leadership Academy was once again an outstanding opportunity for administrators in Broward County Public Schools to attend new professional learning sessions, networking opportunities, see long-time friends and colleagues and to meet new friends.
Below are some reflections for attendees of this year's Summer Leadership Academy. Please take a few moments and add your favorite memory to this list.
"The variety of training sessions and trainers were amazing!"
"HRD was extremely organized and proactive in putting this event together under the leadership of Ms. Sherry Rose" "The materials provided will help all Administrators be more effective in their current positions"
Cindy Pluim Coordinator,
Interim Assistant Principal Program
Leadership and Non-Instructional Development, HRD
Great effort by HRD running another successful event. Networking with our fellow administrators was great!

Dolphin Bay Elementary School
This year's leadership academy provided clarity on Zero Tolerance legislation, Policy 5006 and how they directly impact the way we deal with and approach our students at the school level. One cannot begin to create a positive learning environment if the sole objective of managing student misconduct is punishment; we must work together to provide resources and tools for students to learn constructive behavior leading them to academic and social success.

I truly believe my experience during the training will assist me with my interpersonal skills, time management and ability to create a culture conducive for learning.

Intern Principal
Deerfield Beach Middle School
I enjoyed my Summer Leadership Academy experience tremendously! The workshop that I attended was called "Implementing Change". I can say that this was the most active workshop I have attended in a while. Everyone was participatory and had great input. I am looking forward to utilizing the things that I learned from the workshop within my school, when I get one of course. The trainers were a perfect fit for the workshop, because they were both retired principals who have been there, done that, and got a t-shirt!!! Their leadership during the workshop was awesome!! I am looking forward to next year!
Trials make us think; thinking makes us wise; wisdom makes life profitable.

"The PowerPoint and handouts from the SREB Prioritizing, Mapping, and Monitoring the Curriculum session will be utilized as reference materials for the Sheridan Technical Center's Cosmetology and Health Science Professional Learning Community activities during the 2010-2011 school year to increase student achievement."

Assistant Director

The 2010 Leadership Academy was an opportunity to network with colleagues and provided me with resources for this school year.

ESOL & Pre-K-2 Director
Intern Principal Program
During the 2010 Leadership Academy, I participated in the Coaching for Success module. During my training, I gained valuable knowledge on how to further motivate and guide members of my school community towards success. I recommend this professional development course to anyone wanting to move their school or department to the next level.

CWT 3.0 and Unwrapping the Standards were two great trainings that took administrators back to the heart of teaching in the classroom. I enjoyed the presenters, who found a way to make the trainings educational but entertaining. Thank you, HRD, for another quality event!
