Transformative Principal Supervision is a 9-month learning program that enhances the leadership skills of new and experienced district leaders who supervise and support principals. When you join this program, you join an alumni community of 279 principal supervisors working in 76 school systems across 23 states and Washington, D.C.
Now in its 12th year, Transformative Principal Supervision allows participants to: unpack the role and impact of the principal supervisor with a “teaching and learning” approach; build their capacity as instructional leaders to support systemwide practice; analyze data to support planning, decision making, and feedback; and learn to leverage a coaching approach and communities of practice to help principals become more effective instructional leaders.
In a lively, fast-paced environment that includes both in-person and virtual sessions, teams of principal supervisors from across the country will collaborate and identify creative solutions to the most daunting challenges.
Topics of focus will include:
- The evolving role of the principal supervisor as a catalyst for change.
- Instructional leadership practices and developing strategies to identify, support, and enhance high-quality teaching practices at all levels.
- Data-informed decision-making and utilizing data to inform planning, prioritize needs, and improve student outcomes.
- Coaching that builds principals’ leadership capacity through feedback and collaborative communities of practice.
- Strategic leadership and developing and executing a clear theory of action to drive progress across your network of schools.
