Congratulations to Nicole (Nikki) Adams, who was recently accepted into the 2020-21 Early Childhood Personnel Center (ECPC) and Division for Early Childhood's (DEC) Leadership Initiative cohort.
The goal of the Early Childhood Leadership Initiative is to provide technical assistance and training to emerging and existing leaders to support statewide Comprehensive Systems of Personnel Development (CSPD). Leaders from institutes of higher education (faculty members), doctoral students and their advisors*, and families will have the opportunity to develop and implement an action plan to enhance one of the six subcomponents of the CSPD (Leadership, Coordination and Sustainability, Recruitment and Retention, Personnel Standards, Inservice, Preservice, and Evaluation).
Adam's addition to this leadership cohort is reflective of her high level of instructional, scholarly, and leadership capabilities and underscores that of the Department of Special Education.
