ExCEL - Leadership and Teambuilding
In-Service Training

The current frameworks and in-service training requirements have increased training needs. ExCEL (Experience the Challenge Experience the Leadership), a program of the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, offers a program at the Arkansas 4-H Center focused on teambuilding and leadership. With the in-service requirements for your teachers in mind, we have formatted programming to focus on the frameworks. Our training areas include:

Advocacy/Leadership
Supervision
Mentoring/Coaching
Building a Collaborative Learning Community (Career Academy)
Instructional Leadership

ExCEL has provided experiential training since 1986 to youth, adult focused non-profit, and corporate groups. We utilize experiential training methods to provide an effective environment for change. Some of the training tools used by ExCEL are:

  • Ground based initiatives (Experiential activities that do not involve leaving the ground)
  • Progressive Team Challenge (low ropes course)
  • Team Rock Climbing (Artificial rock climbing tower that requires a team to operate)
  • High Ropes Course

To accommodate your school and your in-service training schedule and needs we can bring the program to you or have teachers and/or administrators attend training at the 4-H Center. We have also dedicated two dates as open enrollment for individual teacher in-service days.
