“ELDI shaped my vision for Christian education leadership in a way I never expected.” (ELDI participant)

ELDI Details:

As part of its Leadership Development Series, CSI provides an exciting opportunity to help current classroom teachers consider God’s call to administration. During the weeklong Educators Leadership Development Institute (ELDI), participants will learn from practicing administrators and explore their interests, abilities, and gifts in administration through the use of assessment exercises.

Session topics include:

  • Administrator tasks and expectations.
  • A biblical vision of leadership.
  • Curriculum design.
  • Professional development.
  • Resource development.
  • Board-administrator relationships.
  • Administrators as spiritual leaders.

But don’t just take our word for it – listen to the stories of recent participants in the ELDI program:

“ELDI was an amazing week. Trusting relationships were built and there was tons of professional growth as we discussed everything we learned about.”

“An awesome spirit of honesty, openness and genuine caring [was demonstrated] from course leaders towards all of us.”

“Thank you so much! It was so well organized and thorough, there was nothing that was not beneficial or applicable.”

“I learned more in this week about myself, leadership, Christian education and following God’s calling than I think I could have learned in any other situation. Thank you.”

“Thank you for this amazing opportunity. It has both affirmed me and challenged me.”
