Connecticut's EPFP serves Fellows from a variety of school districts, regional service centers, and the CT State Department of Education. The program is housed at Area Cooperative Educational Services (ACES), in Hamden, CT. This year's theme is built around leadership development and public policy analysis, development and implementation. Emphasis is placed on developing those skills and strategies essential for initiating and sustaining viable improvement efforts at the local and state levels. Topics explored include: 1) Leading in a Culture of Change, 2) Diversity and Multiculturalism, 3) The Teacher Shortage: Recruitment, Selection, and Retention, 4) Technology and its Integration, 5) What Leaders Need to Know When Dealing with the Media and 6) Educational Initiatives: The Connecticut Perspective. The program meets on a monthly schedule between October and May. Distinguished leaders from varied fields, both public and private, address and interact with fellows in six in-state seminars. Each seminar lasts for two and a half hours and a light dinner meal is served.
