Professional Development Opportunities for K-12 District Leaders

This was such a beneficial event. To be surrounded by like-minded people and having the opportunity to learn amongst my peers was great. There is nothing like this for CAO’s. The experience was invaluable.

CIOs should attend this event because superintendents and school districts are requiring a new kind of approach when it comes to technology, curriculum and instruction. Technology, curriculum and instruction used to be separate, but now they need to be integrated, coherent, comprehensive and strategic. This CIO Academy will help bridge that gap.

I appreciated the level of networking and collaboration from the various participants from all over the country. I was able to hone in into some skills I hadn’t previously considered. I had the opportunity to meet some friends and hear experiences and their trajectories and hear their leadership stories that helped shape my own.

I loved being a learner for a few days. We don’t do that enough! Your presentations were timely and discussions with other superintendents were valuable.

The challenges we face in K-12 are unique and ever changing, the District Administration CIO Summit convenes seasoned thought leaders to help navigate those waters. From start to finish, the program is salient to our charge, forward thinking and rooted in real experiences instead of abstract notions of best practice. If you seek to move your K12 IT organization from a tactical to a strategic mindset, the District Administration program should be considered compulsory.
