Join us for a unique 1-day workshop aboard a tall ship in Fort Pierce,
Florida on January, 23, 2009.
"Collaborative Leader-Ship, Diversity and Global Awareness for Educators"
Get a jump start on the NAIS annual conference theme "Sailing in the Winds
of Change" and see how leadership development and attention to diversity and
global education can improve you school's culture, community, and your
bottom line!
In the current economic climate, schools will need to work even harder to
create and establish their niche in the face of increasing competition for
education dollars. Collaborative leadership, diversity and global education
are on everyone's list of 21st Century skills for students and teachers, and
they help the schools establish programs that set them apart. Come and
experience a 1-day version of our programs that has great possibilities for
educators.
Workshop outcomes:
- Increased understanding and ability to facilitate the collaborative
leadership process
- Activities for your classrooms, clubs, and advising groups
- Familiarity with a unique model of multicultural identity: the 5
C's of Awareness
- Use of your local resources to achieve a global perspective
- Discussion and reflection on how unique programs, such as GYLI,
offer schools a chance to set themselves apart
- Work with nationally recognized experts as well as colleagues from
other schools who face the same economic and programming challenges
Participants in this 1-day GYLI workshop will sail the Schooner Denis
Sullivan out of the beautiful Harbor Branch of Florida Atlantic University
in Fort Pierce, FL. We will explore lessons of collaborative leadership,
diversity and global awareness in an effort to become more effective
teachers of leadership in our schools.
GYLI is a non-profit organization that runs many successful leadership
programs for high school students and teachers, including the NAIS Institute
for Student Leaders. GYLI has developed this workshop in partnership with
the Denis Sullivan, an educational vessel that is the state flagship of
Wisconsin. Any educator K-12 will find practical activities, connections and
inspiration for their work during this unique 1-day event.
Costs: $500 flat fee for up to 3 participants at your school! Depending on
availability, schools may add a fourth participant. Costs cover all
workshop speakers, materials, a light breakfast and lunch . This workshop
is open to anyone in the field of education.
