Innovation and Collaboration
What explains the success of CASDA? It is strong leadership,
innovative programming and the collaborative nature of the association.
Here is a sampling of some of CASDA’s most noted and successful programs:
Select Seminars
CASDA has been sponsoring Select Seminars on Excellence in Education
since 1985, when Nelson Armlin instituted them as a form of professional
development. These seminars provide a forum for educators to consider
major issues and make written recommendations to improve the quality of
education. Reports of the Select Seminars are published by CASDA and circulated
regionally and nationally. The Select Seminar process has been replicated
across the country. Topics over the years have ranged from the role of
technology in the schools to gender equity to teacher evaluation. Most
recently, CASDA and the Greater Capital Region Teacher Center cosponsored
a Select Seminar on “Educators’ Professional Growth.”
Principals’ Center
The Greater Capital Region Principals’ Center provides training
to renew and improve administrative skills, as well as providing opportunities
for networking and exchanging ideas. Each year the Center sponsors a series
of workshops and conferences on such topics as “Standards of Learning,”
“The Internet,” and “Potential Principals.” “The
Defiant Child” was the topic of the most recent round robin table
discussion on April 7.
Scholars’ Recognition Program
CASDA each year participates in the planning of the annual Scholars’
Recognition Dinner, which was held this year on April 28. More than 100
senior scholars, and some 100 teachers nominated by the scholars, were
honored. CASDA compiles the student and teacher biographical information
for the Times-Union insert.
