Youth Entrepreneur Leadership Program (YELP)
We collaborated with the Career Dreams Educational Foundation and the Training Dynamics Network to create a talent-based program for middle school youth, ages 11-15. A Certified Inspired Learning Facilitator is co-facilitating the two-day pilot workshop taking place in Los Angeles on October 20 and October 21, 2007. YELP will assist youth to acquire leadership, communication and organizational skills that enable them to clearly identify their passion for a career they would like to pursue.

Inspired Learning Certification Program
Given feedback from previous participants and requests from others to create a fast track to certification, we did just that and created a new program, combining the teleclass component with the in-person session. This means that participants now take the in-person certification component right after they complete the teleclasses, making certification easier and faster.
Inspired Learning Invitational - May 2006
A 1/2 day event was held for non-profit executives, board memebers and philanthropists who support non-profit community organizations and services in Orange and Los Angelos Counties. The result was having 18 powerful and influential visionary leaders experience the Inspired Learning Model™. The feedback from the group was positive and filled with an energy that reconnected participants to their love of being in service.

The School of Graduate Studies approved a Summer Institute for Coaching Skills for Educational Leaders Program to be offered to Educational Leaders. Dr. Katherine Johnson and Peter Reding co-facilitated the three credit graduate course, which included initial sessions in August, teleclasses through fall semester to reinforce skills and learning, monthly practice sessions with peer coaches, and an end of class evening session with presentations of "projects of excellence."
National Staff Development Council
The Program and the research results of the Howard County Public School System Project was presented to the prestigious NSDC (National Staff Development Council) at their Annual Conference in December, 2005. The title of the presentation was Coaching Skills for Educational Leaders: Building Leadership Capacity through Inspired Learning, with the critical issue being leadership. Participants had the opportunity to learn the conceptual framework for the design and implementation of a quality professional development program that focuses on building coaching skills for educational leaders. This model exemplifies principles of quality professional development. The Foundation for Inspired Learning "Standards of Presence" provided the basis for the process.
