Services to Department Members Offered by
The NCEA Department of Elementary Schools
Catholic School Leadership Institute - 2010
July 12 - 15, 2010
Baltimore, MD
Principals and assistant principals are often asked to begin their ministry of administration with little background and are often overwhelmed by the diversity of requirements needed for the position.
In order to meet the needs of beginning principals and to support and encourage experienced principals, the NCEA has developed a summer workshop which will provide ongoing formation and support and at the same time reinvigorate those who already face the daily challenges of administration. Those teachers who are considering the ministry of administration will find the program a valuable opportunity to share their ideas and learn from experienced administrators.
The goals of the Institute are to:
- Encourage and support experienced principals
- Provide assistance to new principals to learn various aspects of their ministry
- Help assistant principals and competent teachers discern their own future in the ministry of administration
- Network with principals and candidates from other parts of the country.
The Catholic School Leadership Institute is a 3 day workshop covering various aspects of administration. It is being held at the Peabody Court Hotel (hotel information is listed below).

Academic, Social, and Spiritual Inclusive Education: One Perspective on How to Make it Work. Martine Boudreaux and Cynthia May.
In this presentation we will discuss the development and implementation of an inclusive program at a Catholic high school. Until 2007, students with special needs had never attended the school.

This workshop will help the participants to structure conversations about these issues for their boards, parents, and faculty.
