درباره این اپیزود
Your calendar is already packed, so professional learning has to earn its spot. We sit down with Cindy Flesher to map out GAEL's fall lineup for Georgia educators, with clear dates, simple formats, and training you can actually use on Monday. If you’re staring at early-year diagnostic results and wondering what to do next, we walk through a free three-part webinar series with the Georgia Department of Education on diagnostic assessment toolkits, literacy data, decision trees, and K-8 intervention practice guides, plus the option to join live for Q&A or watch the recordings later.
Then we shift from data to people, because leadership gets real the moment a tough conversation lands on your desk. We break down upcoming Crucial Conversations trainings designed to be interactive, practical, and accountability-driven: bring the conversation you’ve been avoiding, practice a better approach, and leave ready to follow through within a week. We also preview leadership coaching training that goes beyond a single workshop, with hands-on practice, multiple virtual follow-ups, a full coaching cycle with a client, and a micro-credentialing badge from the University of West Georgia.
To round out the season, we share what’s coming in the member webinar series moderated by Dr. Marlon Stiles Jr., featuring Georgia leaders talking career-connected learning and CTAE pathways, schools at the heart of strong communities, and strategies for growing the next generation of leaders through in-district development. Listen, save the dates, and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, then share this with a colleague and leave a quick review to help more Georgia education leaders find the show.

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:10.720
Welcome to Gale Unscripted, where leadership meets learning and real conversations drive real impact.
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.439
I'm Ben Wiggins, Executive Director of Gale.
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:18.160
Join us as we go beyond the headlines with Georgia's top education leaders.
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:20.480
Let's elevate the conversation.
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:36.479
Welcome back, Gail family, to another exciting episode of Gale Unscripted of starting a new series this year with a new school year.
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.439
Hope everyone's school year has started off fantastically.
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:47.359
We have Cindy Fletcher here with us today, and we're going to talk about some of the exciting things that Gail is offering this summer.
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:48.799
Where do we want to start off, Cindy?
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.920
We're going to start off with our fall webinar series because fall is just around the corner.
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:58.079
And we have two back-to-back series that we're going to do.
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:15.920
One is with the Georgia Department of Education, and it is a three-part series focusing on Georgia's diagnostic assessment toolkits and how you can utilize those with your literacy data and putting that into practice into your schools.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.879
And it's really designed for K through 8 schools.
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:20.560
So we're looking forward to that.
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:22.640
That's going to start pretty soon.
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.280
It's going to start on Friday, August 28th.
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.000
So go ahead and mark your calendar, save the date on there.
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:33.040
All of our fall webinar series will be at 9 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock.
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:34.159
They're just an hour.
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:42.400
So if you can give up that 60 minutes, you can participate live, ask any questions to the presenters as they are presenting.
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:50.079
But if you cannot attend, don't worry, we're going to be able to record all of the series and we'll make them available for you.
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:54.159
And this one with the DOE is free to all Georgia educators.
00:01:54.400 --> 00:02:07.760
If you have people in your district that are not a member of Gale and you think that they could benefit from listening to these series with the DOE, please forward that link for them so that they can access it.
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:17.120
So that first session on August the 28th is focused on the diagnostic assessment toolkits, the what, the why, and the how.
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:25.280
And then the second one will be on Thursday, September 3rd, again, 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock in the morning.
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:39.360
And that one is on taking a deep dive and using your local assessment systems to use a decision tree to make decisions about how you're what you're going to do with that data that you have.
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:48.479
And then the last one will be on Friday, September the 18th, and it is on K-8 Intervention Practice Guides.
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:53.120
And we have lots of experts from the DOE that will be sharing this information.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:53.759
Dr.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.280
April Aldridge will likely make an appearance on some of these.
00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:57.680
Dr.
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.840
Nick Phillman, Felicia Purdy, Amy Denty, and then Dr.
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:03.919
Jennifer Lindstrom as well.
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.520
So we hope that you can put these dates on your calendar and go ahead and plan on attending these.
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.240
But as but like I said, if you can attend, it's okay.
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.919
You can watch the recorded webinar that we put out there.
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.479
Yeah, I think Cindy made a good point that it's going to be recorded.
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:40.240
So maybe you've got some future leaders, maybe you have some teacher leaders or members of your leadership team that aren't in actual leadership positions yet, but you would like them to be involved, and this will be an excellent uh resource for your curriculum team at your school level and or district to watch these and get all this information.
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.280
This is kind of a um a recap.
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:52.319
Uh they did this this breakout session on Wednesday at Summergale, but it was so successful and so sought after that we decided to offer it the uh webinar.
00:03:52.719 --> 00:04:01.520
And now is the perfect time because everybody has given their Amira diagnostic assessment here at the beginning of the year, and now it's time to do something with that data.
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.000
Um I hope you can participate and hear what they have to share about that.
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:06.719
Perfect.
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.759
Now let's get into some crucial conversations trainings.
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:14.479
Cindy, I think you've got one coming up pretty soon, and then another one later this fall.
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:15.120
We do.
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:23.040
We have crucial conversations training coming up September 22nd, um, and that's gonna be way down in South Georgia in Camilla.
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.160
Um that'll be at Southwest Georgia Risa, and we'll be there from 8:30 until 4.
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:34.720
We'll have a light breakfast and lunch that day from Chick-fil-A, and it's a very interactive training.
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:44.879
So if you've never participated in it, I ask you to bring a crucial conversation with you that you've been putting off or not been looking forward to having with someone.
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:55.519
Bring that and we're gonna practice how you can handle that conversation so that when you leave that training, you'll be ready to go back and have that crucial conversation within the next week.
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:10.800
And we'll set you up with a learning partner during that training, and you guys will hold each other accountable to having those crucial conversations and set a debrief date for a week out from the training and just debrief on how that conversation went.
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:17.920
But is it's designed for it to be interactive and designed for you to actually take this back and put it in into place.
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:22.399
And Cindy, who who could benefit from crucial conversations training?
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.639
I think everyone could.
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:38.800
Um, I think teachers, uh principals, assistant principals, superintendents, we've had all of those people uh to attend these trainings in the past, and I'm happy to be able to come back to Southwest Georgia Risa and offer this training.
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.959
There will be another one that we'll offer later in the semester.
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.879
It'll be December 2nd.
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.199
That's a Wednesday, and we're gonna do that in Athens.
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:57.040
Again, it'll be 8:30 till 4, but I'm trying to meet the needs of all of our educational leaders from all over the state to provide that crucial conversations training.
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:03.199
Yeah, I can't stress enough how beneficial this training would be for your current and future leaders.
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.839
So be sure to sign up for that.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.240
You got two opportunities this fall.
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.120
Let's go into leadership coaching next, Cindy.
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:19.519
Yes, uh, we do leadership coaching training twice a year, usually in June and then in November kind of December time frame.
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:24.879
So we've already had two uh trainings in June this summer, but we're gonna have two coming up in November.
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.319
One is virtual and that will be on November 11th.
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:29.519
That is Veterans Day.
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.839
So some of you may have Veterans Day off.
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.920
Um and if you do and you don't already have other plans, it is the middle of the week.
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.319
Maybe you can participate in our uh live stream version of the training.
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.600
Um, that will be 8 o'clock until 2 o'clock.
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.120
It's very interactive.
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:51.120
Uh Corinza Wing is the instructor for it, and I kind of assist her with the technology on that.
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.800
And it just we make it very fun, it goes by very quick.
00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:03.360
Um, and then the second opportunity will be a little bit later in November, it'll be Tuesday, November the 17th, and that's going to be in Peary, Georgia.
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:07.279
Uh, and that time frame will be 8:30 until 3:30.
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:19.600
Both of those trainings also are very interactive, practicing uh some of the coaching techniques and uh things that we uh teach you during those trainings, but um it's not just a one and done.
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:30.319
You come for that day for the training, but then we schedule three virtual follow-ups in the months just after that training where we expect you to have someone that you're going to be coaching.
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:50.079
We refer to that person as your client, and so you'll have a client that you'll start that coaching cycle with within a month of uh this training, and then we schedule these follow-up sessions where we teach a little bit, but we also check a little where you are, how you're doing, um, and wherever you are at that time is where you're supposed to be.
00:07:50.160 --> 00:08:02.560
We just try to provide you the materials and resources that you need to make those next steps forward so that you can complete a full coaching cycle with the support of our experts in uh leadership coaching.
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.000
So um, we would finish that up by March.
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:14.560
Um, and then at after that last virtual session in March, then we uh issue a micro-credentialing badge that comes from the University of West Georgia.
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:15.439
Good deal.
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:16.160
Go west.
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.199
All right, let's talk about our fall webinar series.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:29.120
We talked about what we're doing with uh uh representatives of the Department of Education, but let's talk about uh what we're gonna do with one of our Summergale speakers, Marlon Styles.
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:38.240
Yes, I hope those of you that came to uh Summergale, you remember our uh keynote speaker that was on the first uh full day on Monday.
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:38.879
We had Dr.
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:40.399
Marlon Stiles Jr.
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.159
and he was fantastic.
00:08:42.480 --> 00:09:00.240
Got lots of positive feedback about his keynote, but he's gonna be leading our fall webinar series by really moderating a conversation with other Georgia leaders and sharing some of the wonderful innovative things that they are doing related to some different topics.
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:12.720
The first day that we will be having a session is on September 16th, and that one will be focused on career-connected learning, and we have two districts that'll be represented with that.
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:20.799
We have um Miss Laura Davis, um, who is a retired CTAE director and lead counselor from Peach County Schools, and then Dr.
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:34.720
Cassandra Washington from Bibb County Schools, where they're gonna share some really cool things that they are doing to be able to maximize the offerings in Bibb County for their students as far as CTAE pathways are concerned.
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:44.159
They are going to be able to add 11 pathways for their Peach County students because of a partnership with Bibb County, and I can't wait for them to share that with you.
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:49.679
I'm not gonna tell you all the secrets right now, so you'll have to tune in on September 16th from 9 to 10.
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:55.919
Um, then on September 30th, there will be one focused on schools at the heart of strong communities.
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.519
And uh the two superintendents that are going to be sharing uh there will be Dr.
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.720
Richard Rogers from Houston County Schools and then Dr.
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.919
Dallas Leda from Barrow County Schools.
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:23.600
And they have some amazing things to share about how they have the community support and everybody pulling together, like as one team in their uh districts, and I can't wait for them to share those uh things with you.
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:31.519
Then the last one is going to be on October 21st, and it's uh entitled Growing the Next Generation of Leaders.
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:32.720
So we have Dr.
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:37.360
Evan Horton, um, who is the superintendent of Cowita County Schools, Dr.
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:43.039
Cheryl McCharge, she's the professional learning facilitator in Cowita County, and then also uh Dr.
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:49.600
Jasmine Coolard, and she is the Chief School Leadership Officer in Cobb County Schools.
00:10:50.080 --> 00:11:00.000
They are doing some wonderful things with Georgia's Best Program and other things to build leadership capacity within their districts that I think all of you will find very interesting.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:10.159
All of these webinars will be something I think that you could take back with you and think about how you could utilize something like that in your district or in your schools.
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.080
All of these webinars again start at 9 and end at 10.
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:25.200
The only difference with this webinar series in comparison to the one with the Georgia Department of Education is this one you do have to be a Gale member to be able to participate in.
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:35.759
So if you haven't renewed your Gale membership for this year, sign up, register for this opportunity, and you can go ahead and renew your Gale membership for 26-27.
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:45.039
And then you have access to all the things that we offer, whether that's uh webinars coming up, special training, um the weekly Gale Flyer.
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:52.720
There's lots of opportunities that you connect and can connect and grow with other leaders and can and network with what with them across the state.
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.879
So we would love to have you participate in that.
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.720
Yeah, some great topics you've got.
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:03.039
Peach County and Bibb County talking about how to grow your CTAE program, especially for some smaller districts out there.
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:04.799
Uh, then, of course, with Dr.
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:05.840
Leduff and Dr.
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.360
Rogers, that's going to be a fantastic uh webinar talking about what their communities have done.
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.399
And then the last one with Cal Wita and Cobb County.
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:18.080
Uh I would really encourage some of our leaders to watch that.
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:34.399
If you're interested in some things you can do in-house to help your leaders uh further their career with their masters and their specialists and doctorate programs, uh Cowita and Cobb County are doing some really, really neat things with Georgia's best program.
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:42.960
Uh and is really getting a head start uh on keeping and retaining and growing their own leaders in that district.
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.519
So phenomenal webinar series.
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.759
Cindy does a great job of those.
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.000
So we look forward to having all of you on there.
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.879
Cindy, is there anything you want to say as we sign off?
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:54.720
I can't think of anything.
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.240
I just look forward to seeing all of you on these webinars.
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:04.559
And if not, uh you can certainly watch them, the recorded version of those, because we will make those available to you.
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.639
But happy learning in the meantime.
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.600
Have a fantastic beginning of the school year.
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:26.240
We look forward to seeing you on our fall webinar series and at Cindy's Crucial Conversations Training and with our leadership coaching training, as well as all of the fall conferences, fall conferences that we have kicking off with legal issues right after Labor Day here in the Classic Center.
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.919
So thank you for joining us for this episode of Gail Unscripted.
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:10.720
Welcome to Gale Unscripted, where leadership meets learning and real conversations drive real impact.
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.439
I'm Ben Wiggins, Executive Director of Gale.
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:18.160
Join us as we go beyond the headlines with Georgia's top education leaders.
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:20.480
Let's elevate the conversation.
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:36.479
Welcome back, Gail family, to another exciting episode of Gale Unscripted of starting a new series this year with a new school year.
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.439
Hope everyone's school year has started off fantastically.
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:47.359
We have Cindy Fletcher here with us today, and we're going to talk about some of the exciting things that Gail is offering this summer.
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:48.799
Where do we want to start off, Cindy?
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.920
We're going to start off with our fall webinar series because fall is just around the corner.
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:58.079
And we have two back-to-back series that we're going to do.
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:15.920
One is with the Georgia Department of Education, and it is a three-part series focusing on Georgia's diagnostic assessment toolkits and how you can utilize those with your literacy data and putting that into practice into your schools.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.879
And it's really designed for K through 8 schools.
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:20.560
So we're looking forward to that.
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:22.640
That's going to start pretty soon.
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.280
It's going to start on Friday, August 28th.
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.000
So go ahead and mark your calendar, save the date on there.
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:33.040
All of our fall webinar series will be at 9 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock.
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:34.159
They're just an hour.
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:42.400
So if you can give up that 60 minutes, you can participate live, ask any questions to the presenters as they are presenting.
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:50.079
But if you cannot attend, don't worry, we're going to be able to record all of the series and we'll make them available for you.
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:54.159
And this one with the DOE is free to all Georgia educators.
00:01:54.400 --> 00:02:07.760
If you have people in your district that are not a member of Gale and you think that they could benefit from listening to these series with the DOE, please forward that link for them so that they can access it.
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:17.120
So that first session on August the 28th is focused on the diagnostic assessment toolkits, the what, the why, and the how.
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:25.280
And then the second one will be on Thursday, September 3rd, again, 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock in the morning.
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:39.360
And that one is on taking a deep dive and using your local assessment systems to use a decision tree to make decisions about how you're what you're going to do with that data that you have.
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:48.479
And then the last one will be on Friday, September the 18th, and it is on K-8 Intervention Practice Guides.
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:53.120
And we have lots of experts from the DOE that will be sharing this information.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:53.759
Dr.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.280
April Aldridge will likely make an appearance on some of these.
00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:57.680
Dr.
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.840
Nick Phillman, Felicia Purdy, Amy Denty, and then Dr.
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:03.919
Jennifer Lindstrom as well.
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.520
So we hope that you can put these dates on your calendar and go ahead and plan on attending these.
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.240
But as but like I said, if you can attend, it's okay.
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.919
You can watch the recorded webinar that we put out there.
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.479
Yeah, I think Cindy made a good point that it's going to be recorded.
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:40.240
So maybe you've got some future leaders, maybe you have some teacher leaders or members of your leadership team that aren't in actual leadership positions yet, but you would like them to be involved, and this will be an excellent uh resource for your curriculum team at your school level and or district to watch these and get all this information.
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.280
This is kind of a um a recap.
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:52.319
Uh they did this this breakout session on Wednesday at Summergale, but it was so successful and so sought after that we decided to offer it the uh webinar.
00:03:52.719 --> 00:04:01.520
And now is the perfect time because everybody has given their Amira diagnostic assessment here at the beginning of the year, and now it's time to do something with that data.
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.000
Um I hope you can participate and hear what they have to share about that.
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:06.719
Perfect.
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.759
Now let's get into some crucial conversations trainings.
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:14.479
Cindy, I think you've got one coming up pretty soon, and then another one later this fall.
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:15.120
We do.
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:23.040
We have crucial conversations training coming up September 22nd, um, and that's gonna be way down in South Georgia in Camilla.
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.160
Um that'll be at Southwest Georgia Risa, and we'll be there from 8:30 until 4.
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:34.720
We'll have a light breakfast and lunch that day from Chick-fil-A, and it's a very interactive training.
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:44.879
So if you've never participated in it, I ask you to bring a crucial conversation with you that you've been putting off or not been looking forward to having with someone.
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:55.519
Bring that and we're gonna practice how you can handle that conversation so that when you leave that training, you'll be ready to go back and have that crucial conversation within the next week.
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:10.800
And we'll set you up with a learning partner during that training, and you guys will hold each other accountable to having those crucial conversations and set a debrief date for a week out from the training and just debrief on how that conversation went.
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:17.920
But is it's designed for it to be interactive and designed for you to actually take this back and put it in into place.
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:22.399
And Cindy, who who could benefit from crucial conversations training?
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.639
I think everyone could.
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:38.800
Um, I think teachers, uh principals, assistant principals, superintendents, we've had all of those people uh to attend these trainings in the past, and I'm happy to be able to come back to Southwest Georgia Risa and offer this training.
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.959
There will be another one that we'll offer later in the semester.
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.879
It'll be December 2nd.
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.199
That's a Wednesday, and we're gonna do that in Athens.
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:57.040
Again, it'll be 8:30 till 4, but I'm trying to meet the needs of all of our educational leaders from all over the state to provide that crucial conversations training.
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:03.199
Yeah, I can't stress enough how beneficial this training would be for your current and future leaders.
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.839
So be sure to sign up for that.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.240
You got two opportunities this fall.
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.120
Let's go into leadership coaching next, Cindy.
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:19.519
Yes, uh, we do leadership coaching training twice a year, usually in June and then in November kind of December time frame.
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:24.879
So we've already had two uh trainings in June this summer, but we're gonna have two coming up in November.
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.319
One is virtual and that will be on November 11th.
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:29.519
That is Veterans Day.
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.839
So some of you may have Veterans Day off.
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.920
Um and if you do and you don't already have other plans, it is the middle of the week.
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.319
Maybe you can participate in our uh live stream version of the training.
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.600
Um, that will be 8 o'clock until 2 o'clock.
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.120
It's very interactive.
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:51.120
Uh Corinza Wing is the instructor for it, and I kind of assist her with the technology on that.
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.800
And it just we make it very fun, it goes by very quick.
00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:03.360
Um, and then the second opportunity will be a little bit later in November, it'll be Tuesday, November the 17th, and that's going to be in Peary, Georgia.
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:07.279
Uh, and that time frame will be 8:30 until 3:30.
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:19.600
Both of those trainings also are very interactive, practicing uh some of the coaching techniques and uh things that we uh teach you during those trainings, but um it's not just a one and done.
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:30.319
You come for that day for the training, but then we schedule three virtual follow-ups in the months just after that training where we expect you to have someone that you're going to be coaching.
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:50.079
We refer to that person as your client, and so you'll have a client that you'll start that coaching cycle with within a month of uh this training, and then we schedule these follow-up sessions where we teach a little bit, but we also check a little where you are, how you're doing, um, and wherever you are at that time is where you're supposed to be.
00:07:50.160 --> 00:08:02.560
We just try to provide you the materials and resources that you need to make those next steps forward so that you can complete a full coaching cycle with the support of our experts in uh leadership coaching.
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.000
So um, we would finish that up by March.
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:14.560
Um, and then at after that last virtual session in March, then we uh issue a micro-credentialing badge that comes from the University of West Georgia.
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:15.439
Good deal.
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:16.160
Go west.
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.199
All right, let's talk about our fall webinar series.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:29.120
We talked about what we're doing with uh uh representatives of the Department of Education, but let's talk about uh what we're gonna do with one of our Summergale speakers, Marlon Styles.
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:38.240
Yes, I hope those of you that came to uh Summergale, you remember our uh keynote speaker that was on the first uh full day on Monday.
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:38.879
We had Dr.
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:40.399
Marlon Stiles Jr.
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.159
and he was fantastic.
00:08:42.480 --> 00:09:00.240
Got lots of positive feedback about his keynote, but he's gonna be leading our fall webinar series by really moderating a conversation with other Georgia leaders and sharing some of the wonderful innovative things that they are doing related to some different topics.
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:12.720
The first day that we will be having a session is on September 16th, and that one will be focused on career-connected learning, and we have two districts that'll be represented with that.
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:20.799
We have um Miss Laura Davis, um, who is a retired CTAE director and lead counselor from Peach County Schools, and then Dr.
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:34.720
Cassandra Washington from Bibb County Schools, where they're gonna share some really cool things that they are doing to be able to maximize the offerings in Bibb County for their students as far as CTAE pathways are concerned.
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:44.159
They are going to be able to add 11 pathways for their Peach County students because of a partnership with Bibb County, and I can't wait for them to share that with you.
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:49.679
I'm not gonna tell you all the secrets right now, so you'll have to tune in on September 16th from 9 to 10.
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:55.919
Um, then on September 30th, there will be one focused on schools at the heart of strong communities.
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.519
And uh the two superintendents that are going to be sharing uh there will be Dr.
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.720
Richard Rogers from Houston County Schools and then Dr.
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.919
Dallas Leda from Barrow County Schools.
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:23.600
And they have some amazing things to share about how they have the community support and everybody pulling together, like as one team in their uh districts, and I can't wait for them to share those uh things with you.
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:31.519
Then the last one is going to be on October 21st, and it's uh entitled Growing the Next Generation of Leaders.
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:32.720
So we have Dr.
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:37.360
Evan Horton, um, who is the superintendent of Cowita County Schools, Dr.
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:43.039
Cheryl McCharge, she's the professional learning facilitator in Cowita County, and then also uh Dr.
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:49.600
Jasmine Coolard, and she is the Chief School Leadership Officer in Cobb County Schools.
00:10:50.080 --> 00:11:00.000
They are doing some wonderful things with Georgia's Best Program and other things to build leadership capacity within their districts that I think all of you will find very interesting.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:10.159
All of these webinars will be something I think that you could take back with you and think about how you could utilize something like that in your district or in your schools.
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.080
All of these webinars again start at 9 and end at 10.
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:25.200
The only difference with this webinar series in comparison to the one with the Georgia Department of Education is this one you do have to be a Gale member to be able to participate in.
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:35.759
So if you haven't renewed your Gale membership for this year, sign up, register for this opportunity, and you can go ahead and renew your Gale membership for 26-27.
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:45.039
And then you have access to all the things that we offer, whether that's uh webinars coming up, special training, um the weekly Gale Flyer.
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:52.720
There's lots of opportunities that you connect and can connect and grow with other leaders and can and network with what with them across the state.
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.879
So we would love to have you participate in that.
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.720
Yeah, some great topics you've got.
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:03.039
Peach County and Bibb County talking about how to grow your CTAE program, especially for some smaller districts out there.
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:04.799
Uh, then, of course, with Dr.
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:05.840
Leduff and Dr.
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.360
Rogers, that's going to be a fantastic uh webinar talking about what their communities have done.
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.399
And then the last one with Cal Wita and Cobb County.
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:18.080
Uh I would really encourage some of our leaders to watch that.
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:34.399
If you're interested in some things you can do in-house to help your leaders uh further their career with their masters and their specialists and doctorate programs, uh Cowita and Cobb County are doing some really, really neat things with Georgia's best program.
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:42.960
Uh and is really getting a head start uh on keeping and retaining and growing their own leaders in that district.
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.519
So phenomenal webinar series.
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.759
Cindy does a great job of those.
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.000
So we look forward to having all of you on there.
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.879
Cindy, is there anything you want to say as we sign off?
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:54.720
I can't think of anything.
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.240
I just look forward to seeing all of you on these webinars.
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:04.559
And if not, uh you can certainly watch them, the recorded version of those, because we will make those available to you.
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.639
But happy learning in the meantime.
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.600
Have a fantastic beginning of the school year.
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:26.240
We look forward to seeing you on our fall webinar series and at Cindy's Crucial Conversations Training and with our leadership coaching training, as well as all of the fall conferences, fall conferences that we have kicking off with legal issues right after Labor Day here in the Classic Center.
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.919
