EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
<p>Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) has been sending school and district leaders to the Eckerd College Leadership Development Institute for the past eleven years. It has been a required professional development component of the Preparing New Principals Program (PNP) for the past six years and is funded through the Department of Education Title II grant. Each summer the newly selected cohort attends the three-day institute at Eckerd college for the purpose of developing their leadership.</p> <p>During the three days, participants receive comprehensive, honest, and productive feedback based on results of 360-degree survey data completed by their supervisor, direct reports, and peers. They receive individual coaching as well as tools and strategies to support their continued leadership development. They participate in activities that reinforce the importance of vision, goals, effective action planning, shared leadership, conflict resolution, and other important leadership related topics. Participants leave the institute with knowledge of themselves as leaders and how they can capitalize on their current strengths and develop in areas needing improvement. In surveying the many leaders who have attended throughout the years, the common statement is that Eckerd College Leadership Development Institute was a life and leadership changing experience.</p>
