WHAT EDUCATORS THINK ABOUT 4DL PROGRAMS
Participants share feedback on each and every 4DL session. Here’s what they have to say about programs like Leadership Journey, Lead for Delaware, and Leadership Retreat:Ā
"4DL's Lead for Delaware has pushed me to think about my leadership and the impact that I can have in my school as we push for high quality instruction and equity for all students. I have not just developed in my ability to not just lead students and teachers, but I've also developed in my ability to lead organizations and systems through the transformational change required to ensure that every student in my school receives an education that is equitable, rigorous, worthy, and prepares them for college and life."
"The planned and purposeful space that was not only intellectually engaging but personally meaningful to me with like-minded educators.... The responsibility for taking action now rests with us within our schools and districts. Iām interested in receiving continued support to help ensure this work is successfully
carried out."
"Thank you for an amazing experience! I will be taking back new ideas to create and motivate my staff and students. I would also love to travel again to another destination next year."
"I joined Lead For Delaware in 2018 with the expectations of learning how to be a leader in Delaware schools. In addition to meeting that goal, LFD also taught me how to be a better educator in general. I learned about the effects of systemic racism, biases of all types, the past and future of educational funding, and how to impact all of these issues at multiple levels. LFD challenged me in ways that significantly impacted my professional practice and personal growth. I graduated the program in 2020; I greatly miss the thought-provoking conversations that I could count on with my LFD colleagues.ā
"I felt the most effective part of the Leadership Retreat were the readings and the subjects covered are relevant to our current societal issues, to what affects us as educators and members of the community allowing us to reflect on our current issues and how we can act for a change."
"This was my first educational experience out of the country, and I enjoyed every minute of the opportunity. Thanks šš¾ to 4DL staff for putting this together."
