Administrators Conference and Retreat 2024

The effectiveness of our schools depends significantly on the effectiveness of the school administrator. This retreat helps administrators build vision for their schools and become effective leaders.

In the main sessions of the conference this year, Dan Rutt will draw on his years of experience as a school administrator to explore some practical ways that school leaders can capitalize on the opportunities they are given. The three areas of focus will be:

• The Systems of the School
• The Culture of the School
• The Learning of the School

In addition, a work session focused on the partnership between the school board and school administrator will be offered. This session is intended to provide information and activities that will enable each attendee to develop ideas that are applicable to his specific context.  A session will also be offered for the wives of the administrators as well:  Mary Ann Brechbill will be speaking on “Women of Faith” and “Loving the Word of God.”

2024 PROGRAM

As school leaders, we have been given a platform to affect people, a community, and the future.  How do we take our place on the platform with all its roles and responsibilities?  In this series of talks, Dan Rutt will draw on his years of experience as a school administrator to explore some practical ways that school leaders can capitalize on the opportunity they have been given.
