District Leadership Fellows
They’re responsible for setting a vision, executing a strategy, and motivating those around them, all with limited resources. The SMU District Leadership Fellows program enhances rural district leaders’ leadership capacity in these areas and beyond. The program provides participants with leadership tools and peer-support to create and sustain effective strategies for the unique change projects they envision for their communities.
On May 15th, SMU’s Institute for Leadership Impact is hosting its first annual Rural Superintendents Leadership Symposium. The 2018-2019 SMU District Leadership Fellows will be sharing innovative district change projects they implemented over the past year and discussing insights they have garnered on effective leadership. Join the SMU Institute for Leadership Impact, SMU Simmons School of Education & Human Development faculty and staff members, and superintendents from rural areas for a series of panels, breakout sessions, and speakers addressing opportunities in rural education.
