In 1983 we launched the Vanderbilt Principal's Institute, one of the nation's most prestigious executive education programs for school principals. This year the institute is being held in Hong Kong in collaboration with the Hong Kong Institute of Education, Hong Kong's top provider of teacher education. VIIP is ideal for practicing school leaders interested in learning more about evidence-based leadership practices and school improvement in a comparative context. Participants will choose from three tracks in which to specialize during the institute:

• leading learning in Asia Pacific schools,
• leading learning in international schools, or
• leading learning in Chinese schools.

Fellows will come from both the United States and the Asia Pacific. Instruction will be in English.

The Vanderbilt International Institute for Principals fee is $1,500 and does not include transportation or lodging.

“In the midst of making a career transition, the PPI HEMI was the perfect experience. It gave me a global perspective on the issues facing H.E. and the tools needed to make institution changing decisions.” – Steve Rook, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Rich Mountain Community College
