Leadership for the Emerging-Level Director

As the leader of a GEAR UP grant, regardless of size or location, a director is responsible for many elements of successfully implementing the grant to positively impact students and communities. A core component of a directors role is to understand and develop the leadership skills that can elevate a team and foster success. 

This course covers:

  • Credibility - the foundation of leadership;
  • The role of vision; and
  • The role of data.
Begin this series of courses by building a strong foundational knowledge of the core components of leadership.
