FLIGHTS
Each candidate is free to arrange their own
flight. Experience has taught us that candidates usually want to go early,
and/or stay late, to extend a 'vacation' as part of the trip. In
addition, candidates are usually flying out of various cities, including Los
Angeles or San Francisco. Because of these variations, we do not reserve
a block of seats on a certain flight for exact days. Instead, we have
found candidates prefer some guidance- then purchase (or use frequent flyer
miles) for the dates that work for them. In addition, many candidates are
coordinating their trip with friends and family, who may join them later, or
for the full dates of the program.
Flight costs vary beginning at $900+, depending on airline, how early
ticket is purchased, etc.. Note- with increased cost of oil, it is
likely airfares will also increase. (For
those with lots of frequent flyer miles -- both American and Delta Airlines
currently have attractive programs to use 40,000-50,000 frequent flyer miles
for flights from the US to Brazil)
Candidates are encouraged to make flight arrangements as soon as they
are accepted into the program.

PROGRAM
HISTORY
Each July since 2004,
school administrators from throughout California have traveled to Chiang Mai,
Thailand as part of this international program for professional licensure. The overwhelming success of the Thailand
program, and increased interest in a Latin American option served as a catalyst
for the Brazilian program. This will be
the third year of offering the program in Rio.
"This collaboration with international school leaders and educators
provide an unprecedented international opportunity for professional development
and learning by both our California administrators and international
colleagues", stated Dr. Linda Orozco, Founder & Director of the
Leadership Innovation & this international program since 2004.

ALUMNI PRAISE/COMMENTS
For seven
years the program has been offered internationally in Thailand (and two years
in Brazil), and consistently receives high praise from participating school
leaders. This is our sixth year in collaboration with Dr. Evans &
UCI's Tier II program; and our 4th time in Brazil! Candidates can be assured of the same
high-quality, international experience as past years. Here are a few
alumni comments:
"The Tier II ‘international’ experience offered me, as
a busy administrator, the opportunity to have an "out of the box"
intensive experience that furthered my leadership skills and help me to expand
my perspective of educational administration - gaining an international
perspective!"
-Loretta Whitson, Commissioner,
"What an experience!! This was an opportunity of a
lifetime to complete Tier II. It was incredibly challenging to complete the
competency requirements but it was amazing how I was able to understand and
take a closer look at my abilities. It was an educational and cultural
enlightenment. And it gave me such a rich perspective and educational
opportunity."
-Karen Gerhard, Principal, Capistrano Unified SD
"The experience was invaluable because it required a
more complex level of adult learning and it perfectly integrated the discrete
functions of cultural competence, communication, problem solving,
organizational skills and time management, application of technology, and understanding
of effective ELD practice."
-Grace LaTegola, Director of
Categorical Programs and Grants,, Grossmont Union
High SD
"The Tier II program was an extraordinary and
wonderful experience for me. It provided the opportunity to look at educational
leadership, schools, professional collaboration and culture."
-Martin Griffin, High School Principal,
“I had the good fortune to be able to attend Dr.
Orozco’s class in Thailand and it was a remarkable experience. Classes
like hers are wonderful opportunities.
-Debra Quan, Director of Human
Resources, San Rafael City Schools
