ISFLC
Statewide partnership expands leadership skills
The Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB) in partnership with the Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) at University of Northern Iowa has formed the Iowa Superintendents Finance and Leadership Consortium (ISFLC), a professional development program for Iowa superintendents to expand their knowledge base and develop their fiscal management and leadership skills.
The Consortium offers two 1.75-day sessions each academic year to meet the varied fiscal management and leadership needs of Iowa superintendents. These sessions are led by Iowa leaders with the skills and expertise in identified curricular areas. License renewal and graduate credit is available to participants. The consortium's curriculum meets the quality standards set by UNI for license renewal and graduate credit. One re-licensure credit (offered through SAI) or one graduate credit is offered for each 1.75-day Fiscal Management Program.
ISFLC's structure and curriculum is determined by the ISFLC Advisory Council, which includes superintendents from across Iowa as well as representatives from ISCAP, ISJIT, IEL, Iowa Department of Education, Iowa Association of School Business Officials, School Administrators of Iowa, University of Iowa and Drake University.
