Become a School District Leader! For Connecticut educators aspiring to advance their careers and become a school district leader, the Executive Leadership Program through UConn’s Neag School of Education offers a one-year program designed to prepare experienced educational leaders to serve as superintendents and/or in other district-level leadership positions. For interested educational leaders, there is now a pathway from the ELP to the Ed.D. program. The pathway will be described in the information session. Graduates of this program earn an endorsement for the Connecticut (093) Superintendent Certification and acquire the knowledge necessary for successfully meeting the challenges of district leadership in the 21st century. For more info, visit http://s.uconn.edu/ELPInfoSessions.

Join the Office of Teacher Education for a collective version of office hours. Meet program directors and staff, ask questions, offer feedback, do homework, hang out, eat FREE food, and build community in the Neag School. 

About The Panel

The digital age has significantly impacted how we communicate, access information, educate, and advocate. In addition to traditional witness objects, we now have emerging digital technologies in virtual reality, immersive exhibitions, and interactive testimony with survivors of and witnesses to genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and other massive human rights abuses. This diverse panel will explore the ways in which these digital technologies can promote empathy, create community, and counter narratives of denial and historical revisionism.
