Very few building, district or state level administrators have had prior training and/or experience before they step into the responsibilities of their leadership role with a DLI program. Many of these new administrators find themselves learning the needed knowledge and skills while on the job, adding to an already full load of tasks and, often, stress. Need to know: 1) Know program model and pros of the one you’ve chosen vs other options; 2) Know and apply criteria for hiring staff; 3) Describe effective instructional practices and recognize them when you see them; 4) Cite research on outcomes; 5) Adhere to non-negotiables; 6) Schedule regular parent meetings to ensure parents have the most up to date information; 7) Report and explain student L2 progress. Participants will identify their roles in DLI leadership. Communication will be two-way; participants will ask questions of presenters, and presenters will question audience members in order to facilitate deeper and more natural conversation. The presentation will include video clips, examples of leadership tools, and other visual support to serve as both evidence as well as stimulate further questions and conversation.
