Course Description

Credit Validation for DoDEA Participants Only

This two-unit graduate credit course, facilitated by the Center for Instructional Leadership, serves as a launchpad for a year of ongoing, just-in-time professional learning designed to innovate, elevate, and accelerate leadership across DoDEA Pacific schools. Anchored in the five key areas of DoDEA’s Definition of Instructional Leadership, this year’s summit builds on the foundational work already underway in schools and districts across the Pacific—empowering leaders to deepen their impact and drive continuous improvement.
