Looking Ahead to Growth By Will Parker, OASSP/OMLEA Executive Director
If you’re like most educators, you are already marking your school calendar for the coming months with many activities and to-do’s. As your calendar fills, do not miss out on time for professional growth — for yourself and for your education team members! Here are some of CCOSA’s professional learning opportunities* to keep in mind as you plan ahead: Tulsa Model TLE Trainings For those who evaluate teachers and other certified employees, Tulsa Model New Admin and Tulsa Model Recertification trainings will be available throughout the summer in both in-person and virtual options. Whether you value sitting around the table face-to-face or prefer to learn from the convenience of your computer, these trainings will prepare you for observations, evaluations and important feedback for guiding strong instruction and student outcomes.
McRel Trainings You and your administrators deserve the opportunity for improving outcomes in the three target areas of the McRel evaluation tool: Managing Change, Purposeful Community, and Focus on Leadership. The McRel New Admin and McRel Re-cert trainings will be offered with both in-person and virtual options, beginning September 14.
First Year Superintendents Beginning July 20-21, first year superintendents meet monthly to cover the essentials for budgeting, goal-setting, distributive leadership, and compliance with local, state and federal mandates involved in leading successful school districts. You will learn from CCOSA Directors and veteran superintendents for a great start to your first year.
