Are you looking for a summer class for professional development and/or recertification?
If so, I will once again offer my online (graduate) course on Teacher Leadership at Fort Hays State University. (TEEL 871 Teacher Leadership)
This is for all educators who are interested in a practical approach to improving their teacher-leadership skills while also earning one to three hours of graduate credit ($319.45/hour in and out-of-state).
Selected Topics Include:

  • Developing your teacher leadership mission statement
  • Conflict management
  • Learning to “lead up” and support those who support you.
  • The importance of your daily agenda.
  • Creating a positive culture and climate.
  • The power of relationships
  • Courageous leadership
  • Virtual presentations by school leaders around the country.

“As a classroom teacher, Dr. Jochum’s class empowered me to see myself as a teacher-leader who can create lasting and meaningful change for my students, colleagues, and school community. The knowledge I gained from this course allowed me to reflect on my practice and sharpen my leadership skills within all areas of my life. Whether you are interested in expanding your leadership skills in your career or you want to network, learn, and grow from your peers, this course is for you!”
