Abstract: Reflecting on my time starting and leading a classical school, I quickly grew in technical skills but less in emotional skills necessary for the role. An important problem for the classical Christian school movement is understanding how academic leaders can grow emotionally in order to perform their roles. This session will cover the ways in which academic leaders of classical Christian schools demonstrate growth in emotional intelligence over the course of their careers.
Dennis Doty is the Head of Grammar School at Covenant Classical School in Fort Worth, TX. Prior to this position, he served as Head of School of Westminster Classical Christian Academy in Toronto, ON. He has a M.A. in Leadership from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He will graduate with an Ed.S. in Classical Education Leadership from Gordon College in May.
