Are you effectively leading a school that prepares students for a digital future? Are you up to the challenge?


You're invited to join us for a free and insightful session aimed at helping you become a better leader in the critical area of technology.

As a school leader, you set the tone in your school building. Are you saying and doing the right things? Do you have an adequate understanding of technology, its potential, and how best to use it?

CKEC, in collaboration with the Center for the Advanced Study of Technology Leadership in Education* at the University of Kentucky, can help you answer these questions. The informative one-day session will focus on:
Who are digital learners?
How can I help my teachers engage their students with technology?
What digital changes are impacting education today?
How can I be a better school technology leader?
Technnology Leadership is offered at no cost to school leaders employed by CKEC member districts.

What is it that drives people to action? How can we motivate and inspire those around us to perform at high levels?


You're invited to find out during an informative session with best-selling author Daniel H. Pink.

Pink is the author of four provocative books about the changing world of work, including The New York Times bestsellers, DRIVE and A WHOLE NEW MIND.

His books have been translated into 29 languages and have sold more than one million copies worldwide.
His latest work, DRIVE: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, uses 50 years of behavioral science to overturn the conventional wisdom about human motivation.


Pink shows that carrot and stick motivators have been oversold and that high performance depends much more on the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things and to do better by ourselves and the world.

This session qualifies for 3 hours of EILA &
Professional Development Credit.

This session runs from 9 a.m. to noon. Fee is $100.00

Sessions will provide a mixture of practical examples and useful advice on dealing with emerging legal issues, making it useful to everyone from teachers to superintendents as they attempt to operate within the boundaries of the U.S. Constitution, federal and state laws, and school district policy.
