Aspiring Administrator Workshop

Do you know someone who would make a good principal?
Have you thought about it yourself? 

The Aspiring Administrator Workshop is for outstanding educators whom we hope to attract to school administration. The Workshop's primary purpose is to connect teachers, whose career goals include seeking administrative positions, to currently practicing administrators through publications, in-service programs, attendance at WFEA-sponsored programs, AWSA meetings, etc.  

These opportunities will provide an excellent introduction to topics, issues, problems, and other facets of school administration. Registrants are given the option between two different dates/locations so they may choose the one that best fits their schedule. 

Cost:

$28 for Aspiring Administrator Member or $76 for a Non-Member (which includes Aspiring Administrator Membership)

Dates and Locations: 

March 23, 2023 | Best Western, Oshkosh

March 29, 2023 | Hilton Garden Inn, Sun Prairie
