Who: Aspiring school leaders, current school leaders

What: Five sessions of high level planning, collaboration, and evaluation of research based practices that make school leaders Highly Effective

When: Last Saturday of each Month, February-June

Purpose: To provide strategic leadership training to develop current and aspiring school leaders to OWN the principalship role, and take full accountability of the growth of all students and team members within the school community.

Session Topics:

Vision : Who are you? What's your purpose? What are your core Values? Where are you going? When you put it all together, a visionary leader is one who develops a vision for the school and supports the staff in making it happen. A vision cannot become a reality without a leader to model the school’s beliefs and values to support that vision.

Goal Setting ( Purpose, People, Processes ): When school leaders know where they are heading they are less likely to be knocked off course and even when they are, the goals will serve as the foundation to course correct.

Benefits of goal setting

-Identify where to focus time and energy

-Gain confidence and feel secure

-Achieve a greater sense of direction

Culture of Excellence : A culture of excellence takes place within a school community when the majority of staff members BELIEVE that each student is capable of meeting academic standards AND that the school has the power to make that opportunity a reality.

Standards Aligned :As school leaders, we are called to develop, facilitate, and implement activities that improve academic results while learning from our successes and failures. Aligning standards provides an objective framework that can guide the school communities path in developing learning paths that accommodate, and support ALL students.

Data Management: School leaders must own the data of the school community. Data is given to use for one reason and one reason only, to use as a means of securing greater success for each individual student. In order for it to be used as a means for driving instruction, school leaders must make data easily accessible, openly shared, and deliberately arranged.
