Enrollment is now open for the 2008-2009 school year.

What

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Leadership Academy is proud to offer our Satellite Academy Program for the 24th consecutive year. Using the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards as the program’s goals, Satellite Academy participants will have a unique professional development opportunity in school improvement, professional growth, collegiality and personal improvement.
Upon completion of the yearlong program, participants will have completed the ISLLC School Leadership Self Inventory both before and following the Satellite Academy. They will have the tools to develop a personal-improvement plan based on assessment data, profiles and feedback. Participants will also acquire basic knowledge regarding change processes, data collection and analysis, and professional development for teaching and learning.
Data collected over the years of the program indicate significant improvement in the skills and knowledge base of those attending the Satellite Academy. School leaders leave the Satellite Academy renewed and refocused on implementing school improvement programs for their buildings.

Who

All practicing or aspiring administrators in public, private and parochial schools are eligible for the Satellite Academy Program. Participants must have a strong commitment to their own growth and development.

Why

The focus of this sustained program is to develop school leaders who can positively and significantly impact student performance through effective school improvement practices. In Missouri and throughout the nation, school improvement mandates and standards are redefining the school administrator’s role. The pressure is on to provide a quality education for each child. Missouri administrators must have continuous opportunities to develop and hone skills for instructional leadership.

Where

Regional Satellite Academy activities will be coordinated by facilitators through the state university and Regional Professional Development Center in your area. Participants will determine regional dates and schedules for their respective group meetings.
