ASSOCIATION OF TEACHER EDUCATORS LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
Organized by the ATE Council of Past Presidents and supported by generous grants from National Evaluation Systems, Pearson and its Vice President, Dr. Richard Allan, the ATE Leadership Academy was initiated about six years ago by ATE's Past Presidents as a way to broaden the experiences and perceptions of emerging educational leaders. ATE has an Annual Meeting in February and a Summer Conference in August, and the Leadership Academy meets immediately prior to these conferences. Members of the Academy are nominated for the experience, and about 60 attend an academy.
Purpose: to broaden the experience and perspective of emerging education leaders. Members of the Leadership Academy are nominated as emerging educational leaders. 104 persons nominated and accepted into membership to date, with about 15-20 new members each year. The Leadership Academy focuses on four areas: Education, Leadership, Culture, Partnerships.
Experiences include active involvement rather than a series of presentations and are designed around questions to explore.
