Leaders in healthcare and education are doing critically important work, and changing contexts demand new approaches to serving communities.
The District Leadership Fellows met at SMU for their second session on October 23rd. Superintendents built upon the framework they learned at the Kick Off, updated their Impact Models and added Active Listening to their skill set.
The Institute for Leadership Impact has trained over 150 SMU students in creating global and public health impact since 2015.
As SMU students settled in for their first round of exams, a new cohort of the Institute for Leadership Impact’s flagship program kicked off at the Simmons School of Education and Human Development. With the construction of SMU’s new Ford Hall for Research & Innovation as a backdrop, thirteen District Leadership Fellows from all over the northeast Texas region reflected on the most effective ways to approach their unique leadership roles.
The 2018-2019 Impact Report from the Institute for Leadership Impact highlights leadership training in education and health including the District Leadership Fellows, Rural Superintendent Leadership Symposium, Virtual Reality surgical mentoring and research, and Creating Impact in Global & Public Health class.
