What is the Administrators and Supervisors Academy?
In response to the need for a systematic and consistent approach to the professional development of supervisors and administrators, the District Department of Human and Organizational Development (OrgDev) has developed the Administrators and Supervisors Academy.
The goal of the academy is ongoing/just-in-time professional development for supervisors and administrators to enable them to function effectively in leadership positions they currently hold in the District.
The Administrators and Supervisors Academy consists of two programs that are offered twice each quarter:
