Personalized professional development tailored for small school district superintendents.

Don’t travel the leadership road alone. 

We are better together. 

Join the ‘22-’23 California Small School District Superintendent Institute! 

The Institute is built around three system pillars: 

→ Transformational Leadership

→ High Impact Data and Instruction  

→ Effective Governance

Anticipated areas of focus include: development of clear goals with impact for the Board and the Superintendent; alignment and allocation of resources for system improvement; multi-grade level strategies; and capacity building to sustain and scale.

Veteran superintendents and content area experts will serve as Institute faculty to support exploration of improvement design and implementation.   

Institute Structure: 

• Full Institute Workshops (6 virtual workshops in total with dates to be determined by participants) 
• Common Characteristic Learning Groups (4 virtual meetings in total with dates to be determined by participants)
• Coaching sessions with veteran superintendents and other Institute faculty after each Learning Group (scheduled individually) 
• One In-person meeting to celebrate the learnings before the SSDA Conference in March (half-day) 
  
  

Please note:

• The dates are to be determined by participants. 
• The registration cost includes all sessions, materials, and a digital resource bank including district-specific tools. 
• If you are a district under 250 enrollment, please contact SSDA to discuss pricing. Our intention is to not have cost be prohibitive for attendance by any district. 
• While superintendents can attend alone, we highly encourage joining with another district colleague to share the learning and ensure learning and action steps can be held by a team.
