Save the Dates! 2023 Leadership Intensive

Save the dates! Monday, June 26 through Friday, June 30 are the dates for the 2023 Leadership Intensive.

The Leadership Intensive is a weeklong summer training program empowering new leaders with the knowledge, networks, and confidence to run impactful charter schools.

Held each summer for over 20 years, the Leadership Intensive features trainings on a wide range of essential charter topics, ranging from accountability, renewal preparation, legal issues, special education, collective bargaining considerations, personnel strategies, authorizer relationships, governance, finance and facilities fundamentals, and more.

Who Attends the Leadership Intensive?

Each Leadership Intensive consists of a small cohort of California charter school leaders.

You’ll feel right at home in this year’s cohort, especially if any of the following apply to you:

You have leadership experience–but you’re new to California charters.
This event provides leaders coming from out-of-state, private, and traditional public schools (or from other professional backgrounds) with the customized training they need to successfully transition to their roles as California public charter school leaders.

You were recently hired or promoted.
Accelerate your learning curve and avoid feelings of overwhelm by getting trained up and connecting with dozens of peers this summer–and carry those relationships into the school year with you.

You’re passing the baton.
Experienced charter leaders frequently attend the Leadership Intensive alongside their junior colleagues, often when pivoting to new roles where “refresher” training is required, and especially when ensuring continuity during leadership transitions.

Where is the 2023 Leadership Intensive?

CSDC is proud to host the 2023 Leadership Intensive at the Hotel Winters in Winters, California.

Located at the eastern gateway to Napa Valley wine country and about 25 miles away from Sacramento International Airport, the Hotel Winters offers a boutique hotel experience with a touch of small-town charm.
