The Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce is still accepting applications for this year's EducatorLeadership program. Now in its
second year, Educator Leadership seeks to create closer alignment between business and education by
providing educators with personal access to business leaders, entrepreneurs,
and community leaders. Armed with a stronger understanding of business and
workforce trends through this program, educators will be able to apply this
knowledge in the classroom and help prepare and inform students for careers in
high growth industries.
Sessions are held
from 3:30-5:45 p.m. once a month (third Wednesday of each month) until May.
Each session focuses on a new industry with presentations by business leaders
through lectures and discussions at on-site visits at some of the most
innovating and exciting businesses in Manchester. The 2014 curriculum includes
the following learning modules:
·
Creative Economy
(marketing, arts, etc.)
·
Construction,
Infrastructure and Energy
·
Financial
Services and Engineering Technology
·
Public Safety and
Government
·
Technology and
Advanced Manufacturing
·
Hospitality, Tourism,
Retail and Automotive
All educators from the Manchester School
District (teachers, guidance counselors, reading and math specialists, etc.) are
encouraged to apply. The normal tuition for this program is $250 and is reimbursable
by the Manchester School District upon completion of the program through
professional development funds.
This year, thanks
to the generosity of Chamber members offering to sponsor educators and
additional corporate support for this program, the tuition for this year has been lowered to only $50 and is
reimbursable upon completion of the program.
To apply, simply email leadership@manchester-chamber.org or call Program Manager Tammy Boucher at (603) 792-4110
at the Chamber.
