ENDORSEMENT:  TO THE SUPERVISOR/EMPLOYING AGENCY REPRESENTATIVE

 

Fellows participate in monthly off-site meetings, and IEL sponsors two national meetings for fellows across all 14 state sites.  The Leadership Forum heightens Fellows' understanding of leadership challenges and of themselves as leaders.  The Washington Policy Seminar increases Fellows' knowledge of national policy issues and processes and gives them a chance to explore the impact of national policy on their work. Please see the Center for Secondary School Redesign website for a program description (www.cssr.us).  Further detail is available on the national EPFP website (www.epfp@iel.org).  The NE EPFP program tuition, plus travel-related costs to the national meeting are paid by the employing agency and/or the Fellow.  Your signature ensures (1) your employee's release time for full participation in the program and (2) payment of program related costs.  If you have any questions, please contact the NE EPFP Site Coordinator, William R. Bryan, Ph.D. (401-965-8345 or billbryan@cssr.us).
