Principal Leadership Institute

2022-23 Principal Leadership Institute

The Principal Leadership Institute is a one-year program focusing on distributive leadership, where principal participants will work alongside exemplary principals using a coaching framework. The program framework will be job-embedded and will include actionable leadership seminars, monthly workshops, site visits and coaching sessions with principal coaches (in virtual and in-person environments (to be mutually determined between principal participants and coaches)). The philosophy of this model builds in high levels of support for leaders (via principal coaches) throughout the program to sustain and integrate the skills and behaviors learned throughout the seminar.
