NJASA to host Second Annual Northern Regional Superintendents' Summit

"Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.”
-John F. Kennedy

The Northern Regional Leadership Summit is an opportunity for chief education officers and other NJASA members from central and northern New Jersey to come together to discuss the challenges they face in providing an enriching learning environment, effective leadership, as well as approaches and best practices to overcome those challenges.

This year’s event will be held on May 13, 2009 at Kean University in Union, New Jersey.

The NJASA has put together for this year’s Summit a roster of focus groups that will assist members in dealing with the following critical issues:

-Consolidation/Shared Services/Regionalization

-Professional Learning Communities

-Secondary School Redesign

-Legislative Advocacy

-Data Driven Decision-Making and Closing the Achievement Gap

Each focus group is design to allow members the opportunity to participate in an open and transparent dialogue with the presenter. At the Southern Regional Leadership Summit in April, conference goers were extremely active and enthusiastic about the candid conversation. I am confident the same will hold true for the May 13th event.

There is little argument that with each passing day new and more complex problems emerge in our school districts. This is why it is critical for you to attend this Summit so you can keep your finger on the pulse in learning about the best and most innovative resources that are available to you.

This is one Summit you do not want to miss.
