Professional growth and training are the hallmarks of progressive educators.  As the “coach of coaches” (along with many other stakeholders connected to your athletic program), the athletic administrator has a high degree of responsibility to maintain their own professional development in being a leader within their school.  

The primary mission of the OIAAA is to serve as a conduit in providing training and resources to keep athletic administrators on the cutting edge of their profession.  In today’s world of education, changes, initiatives and legal challenges make professional development an absolute requirement for athletic directors to fulfill their duties successfully.

To assist our Ohio athletic administrators in planning their continued growth and learning curve, the OIAAA offers the following 12-month schedule of options for professional development:

OIAAA Summer Institute: June 11, 12 and 13, 2019

The popular “Summer Institute” returns to Columbus again in June!  The past three summers’ three-day of workshops have seen over 700 roster spots for nearly a dozen workshop sessions and classes.  This year’s schedule of courses will be published in March along with the time frame for each session and housing information for those who intend to stay over in the Columbus area for the Summer Institute.

There will be two “tracks” this summer:  Track One will be oriented to recently-hired or newer athletic directors.  The three days will provide the core courses for successfully starting as an interscholastic athletic administrator along with a key afternoon session with OHSAA staff for orientation to important responsibilities over the summer months.  Attendees can choose to attend individual sessions or complete the entire three days of sessions in meeting course requirements for the Certified Athletic Administrator (CAA) designation.

Track Two will be focused upon NIAAA 600 and 700 courses.  These supplemental courses are excellent training opportunities for “digging deeper” into successful interscholastic athletic administration.  These courses will be topic-specific and can also be applied to Certified Master Athletic Administrator (CMAA) designation requirements. Attendees can choose to take as few or as many of these courses as they desire during the Summer Institute.

The CAA exam will also be offered to those who have registered through the NIAAA office with their CAA Personal Data Form.

All sessions will be held at the OHSAA offices, 4080 Roselea Place, Columbus.

Specific course offerings, times and housing information will be published in mid-March.  Watch for the push-out of this data and be sure to sign up for this great opportunity to grow and learn!

 

NOTE:  The Annual OIAAA Endowment Golf Outing will be held on FRIDAY, JUNE 14th  in Columbus.  Registration and site information will be published in April.
