A collaboration between the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts and Partners in Performance
Sponsored by the American Express Foundation
The purpose of CAELI is to equip emerging leaders in the arts field with the skills to lead healthy, robust organization.
The Community Arts Education Leadership Institute provides an intensive, transformative
experience through which current and aspiring leaders advance their skills by
engaging with top leadership trainers and nationally-renowned practitioners.
The program includes a five-day seminar at Drexel University, advanced assignments,
pre- and post-360-degree feedback
processes*, and follow-up coaching.

The Institute is ideally suited for those in executive positions or preparing
to move into such positions. To optimize the learning experience, participation
is limited to 25 individuals selected through a competitive application process.
As a participant, you will:
identify your core values and learn how these influence behavior
and decision making;
gain insight into critical issues in community arts education;
increase your awareness of the characteristics of effective leadership;
deepen your understanding of your strengths, weaknesses, and preferences;
identify your developmental goals in terms of organizational leadership,
interpersonal communication, and functional management proficiency;
create a plan for meeting your goals.
The skills and knowledge gained will prepare you to:
manage competing priorities within your organization;
build an effective, collaborative organizational culture amongst board,
staff, faculty, and other stakeholders;
articulate organizational vision and implement effective strategies in
pursuit of institutional goals; and
be a successful leader.
*360-degree
feedback is a method of systematically collecting opinions about an
individual’s performance from a wide range of informants. These often
include board members, direct reports, teaching artists/faculty
members, and others with whom the individual works, and may include
people from outside the organization such as peers and collaborators.
The benefits of collecting data of this kind are that the individual
gets to see a panorama of perceptions rather than just self-perception,
which helps inform leadership development priorities and assists the
coaching relationship.
