Janice Rice-Kafafy, Ridge Views Special Education Department leader, and Jennifer McCleod, Health Sciences Magnet Director, have been accepted into the Leading Up Academy. The Academy is a leadership opportunity through Richland School District Two. Only 24 people in the district were accepted into this program.
"Leading Up" is designed for individuals who want to enhance their skills as innovative leaders. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of fundamental leadership concepts to include developing strong relationships with key people, defining a win in terms of teamwork, and engaging in continual communication. They will also learn more about the core business of Richland Two, systems thinking, and transformational leadership. Mrs. Rice and Mrs. McLeod-Crady will work on exploring the roles they play in the organization, develop an action research project, as well as develop appropriate strategies for causing and sustaining change.
