A Wilmington University representative informed her that WilmU would bring a program to Georgetown if five scholars enrolled. Immediately, seven educators signed on: Nauman; Lewes Elementary Principal Kim Corbidge; Beacon Middle Assistant Principal Kathleen Sheehan; Cape High Principal Nikki Miller; Mariner Middle Assistant Principal Emily Lehne; Sussex Consortium Assistant Principal Liz Cherico; and Sussex Consortium Special Education Coordinator Trish Wilson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program continues to bloom throughout the First State. More than 20 Colonial School District teachers have expressed interest in joining a cohort-based leadership academy that will result in a master\u2019s degree and state certification as school leaders. The cohort will meet weekly in Colonial District facilities and will be taught by district leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar program is about to begin in the Appoquinimink School District, where more than 80 teachers will work toward advanced degrees and certificates.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven administrators from Sussex County schools received their doctoral degrees on May 22, 2022, a result of the \u201cWilmU Comes to You\u201d initiative.
