1. GCSA CharterLeader Boot Camp Application- 2017 Cohort

Thanks for your interest in the CharterLeader 2017 Boot Camp.

The program listed below is facilitated by GCSA staff, as well as external expert presenters.

The "boot camp" will run from Monday, June 12, 2017 - Thursday, June 15, 2017. There will also be two follow-up  group meetings during the 2017-2018 school year to discuss how you've implemented the training content.  Those dates will be determined during the "boot camp." Candidates are expected to attend and participate in all cohort meetings and trainings in order to earn  Professional Learning Units (PLUs).

This year's emphasis is on maximizing student achievement. Attendees will spend time developing and/or refining leadership competencies, school improvement plans, and HR practices. Schools are encouraged to send teams to participate in a collaborative learning experience as they work to improve academic outcomes for students.

This intensive training will help leaders develop the skills and core competencies to launch, lead, convert, replicate, and/or expand high-quality public charter schools. Participants will also explore topics related to styles of leadership; hiring/developing/retaining high performing teams; Response to Intervention (RTI); and due process.

This application is due NO LATER than Friday, May 19, 2017. 

Pricing is as follows:
Bootcamp for 1 leader- $1,000
