GCEIC 3rd Annual Leadership Academy - Safety in the 21st Century School: A Fully Committed Approach for Leaders - February 2025

The 3rd Annual GCEIC Leadership Series has finally arrived! These workshops are facilitated by GCEIC member-district superintendents, assistant superintendents, and leadership teams and will focus on building leadership knowledge and skills that promote positive student outcomes.  Participants may attend as many of the monthly leadership workshops as desired.  Participation in each two-day workshop will qualify for OSL and SEMI credits.

The February 2025 Leadership Academy topic will focus on Safety in the 21st Century School.  Safe schools are elemental to students (and employees) physical and emotional well-being, and in-turn increases academic achievement.  School districts across the country, including here in Mississippi, are experiencing a wide variety of roadblocks to safety.  Acts of violence in schools have increased, and post-pandemic mental health has added a new dimension to the definition of school safety.  Finally, social media brings with it a whole set of concerns.  On Day 1 this workshop will focus on operational safety and discipline, while Day 2 will center around social-emotional well-being.  Topics will include whole child education, anti-bullying efforts, and ways for adults to be a CHAMPIONS for children.  

Instructors: Dr. Matt Dillon, superintendent, Petal School District     /     Dr. Caterria Payton, Assistant Superintendent of Pascagoula Gautier School District and MDE 2023 Administrator of the Year along with other administrators and leaders from the PGSD team.
