CLIC
Welcome to CLIC – the CAS Center for Leadership and Innovation’s CONNECTIONS page! CLIC is designed to be your go-to resource when you are thinking about starting or refining a program in your school and you would like to talk to colleagues who have implemented something similar in their school. We believe these professional contacts, conversations and sharings will help you save time as you develop your program. Think of CLIC as as a quick reference to some of the best practices and programs in Connecticut schools.
Please check out the listing of programs below, and email the administrator listed to set up a phone conference or ask questions about the program, including pros & cons. Please note – these programs have not been formally evaluated by CAS but are considered best practices by our respected colleagues.
We hope the list of program categories will continue to expand and we encourage you to let us know if you have a program you’d be willing to share. Click here to submit a brief description of the program in your school/district that you are willing to share with another administrator.
Please contact John Sieller at CAS (jsiellercasciac
org) if there is a program not listed that you would like us to “research.”
IMPORTANT: These programs have not been formally vetted by CAS but are considered best practices by respected colleagues.
