2010 Leadership Academy Applications Now Being Accepted

Recognized as a model for professional development by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, AEC’s Leadership Academy is a yearlong opportunity for arts educators throughout southwestern Pennsylvania. Participants attend an interactive five-day workshop over the summer and create an action plan that focuses on an identified school, district, or organizational need. Over the course of the year, they work with a network of experienced educators to identify professional goals and turn action plans into reality. Four seminars over the course of the 2010 - 2011 school year add to the depth of the entire experience.

The 2010 Leadership Academy will begin with its summer session July 26th - 30th, 2010 at Pittsburgh Opera headquarters in the Strip District. For more information and a downloadable application, go here. The deadline for submitting an application is May 7, 2010.
