About ELDI
The goal of ELDI is to encourage and guide participants in discerning their calling to Christian school leadership.
Have you wondered if school leadership is for you? Have you been encouraged to pursue leadership by your school leaders or others? Participating in ELDI is a great step to take to find some of those answers! Designed for teachers, ELDI is a hybrid program, both in person and virtual, that will allow you to focus on developing an understanding of school leadership and the role that God may be planning for you. Through the program, you will have a chance to develop relationships with school leaders with many years of combined experience. But more than that, you will join a cohort of teachers just like you. Participants in the Emerging Leaders Development Institute form a strong bond with a network of future leaders in Christian education while learning about relational servant leadership and effective school management and governance and visionary planning. Join this year’s cohort!
