Agenda Item Summary:
|
This board brief is meant to inform and invite board members to participate in the 2019 ACPS Leadership Academy. The Leadership Academy is a three-day program where leaders from across the division gather to celebrate, collaborate, and carve a path forward for the upcoming school year. The Leadership Academy is held from August 6, 2019, through August 8, 2019, at T.C. Williams High School (3330 King Street, Alexandria, VA) from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day.
This year’s theme is “Equity for All," which will be reflected within the content of the academy. There will be a specific focus on team building, collaborative practices, and strategic planning to improve outcomes for students and reduce inequities across our system. We have several speakers presenting thinking around equity specifically within the context of ACPS as well as opportunities for leaders to delve into their own work.

Background:
|
The Superintendent’s Leadership Academy has been a tradition for ACPS for many years. Beginning with the 2018-2019 Leadership Academy, the event focused on community and culture building. Also in 2018-2019, the Academy featured a community building activity where participants built bicycles and then donated them to ACPS students. The event was featured on local media and was a memorable experience for all involved. Based on the success of this event, we are continuing to make this time one of celebration, but also refocus on the true meaning of our work.
