The Education Network’s Advanced Programs
Custom Programs  
  The Education Network designs programs to meet specific needs of  groups, committees and organizations within educational communities. We provide  facilitation for institutions and collaborative efforts in strategic planning,  as well as project formulation and implementation. In addition to being able to  utilize conventional models, The Education Network facilitators provide  training in new ways of thinking and planning which allow participants to  access what was previously unthinkable. This brings a brilliance and vitality  to the planning process, thereby energizing the participants for the sustained  effort of implementation.

In 1998, The Education Network Executive Director conducted a series of sessions for the managers of five departments in the Allegheny Intermediate Unit, Pittsburgh, PA. In an organization where departments historically maintain boundaries and resist collaboration, the participants were able to create and sustain a foundation of partnership irrespective of diverse backgrounds and agendas. They established themselves as an integrated resource for more efficient and effective responses to customer requests. And they were able to contribute the new points of view, enthusiasm, and skills to other aspects of their accountabilities within the organization.
