Dr. Julie Causton and Dr. Kristie Pretti-Frontczak of Inclusive Schooling visit with Charlie Kraig and Dr. Rick Gilson of ARPDC visit about the Summer Leadership Institutes held by Julie and Kristie through their Inclusive Learning organization.
Each August, Inclusive Schooling hosts a three-day Leadership Institute. In our conversation, we share how Alberta Educators can check out the sandbox (anyone is welcome to check it out) https://www.sapdc.ca/program/10888 and consider signing up for the 2023 Summer Leadership Institute. Alberta System leaders ARPDC is working directly with Julie and Kristie to provide an Alberta access point to the 2023 Summer Leadership Institute for school systems in Alberta. Alberta schools and school divisions are invited to register in the Sandbox to be part of the conversation and exploration of possibilities for participation in the 2023 Summer Leadership Institute AND to explore access to the materials of 2023 for the entire 2023-2024 school year. (Contact Rick Gilson or Charlie Kraig for further information in Alberta or if you are a system leader in Canada who would like to know more.)
