ELLI provides a path for classroom teachers, instructional coaches, TOSAs, and emerging teacher-leaders to explore instructional leadership without going down the traditional path of administration. If teaching is what you love, then you shouldn’t have to sacrifice it to be a change agent. The program will incorporate research, best practices in the classroom, and best practices in a professional setting
Program Advantages
- Grant-funded professional learning – We keep educator’s budgets in mind.

Why I <3 KCI
-
I am participating in ELLI, my 6th program at KCI. KCI is a place where like minded innovators converge. KCI programs promote lifetime learning and support your growth as an educator, collaborator, leader and human. Once you take one you will be hooked.

The community that I built through both MERIT and ELLI has inspired and empowered me to become a better educator. Whenever I participate in a KCI program, I always leave with more knowledge on how to better support my students and more confidence to push the boundaries of education, both in my classroom and at my site.
