The Principals Center
Aspiring Leaders Institute
2013-2014 School Year
Program Overview
The Principals Center began in 1984 and has been working to help school leaders develop their leadership skills since then. The Principals Center is again offering the Aspiring Leaders Institute for the 2013-2014 school year. The goal of the Institute is to prepare participants to take on a higher leadership role and to provide them with the tools, frameworks, and leadership skills to build and sustain high-quality teaching and learning environments.
The Institute is designed for school leaders who anticipate a position as principal or other school leader in the near future. The national ISLLC Standards and the Georgia DOE Leadership Standards will be used as the foundation for all learning experiences. All of the seminar sessions will be face-to-face all-day sessions. One-on-one mentoring and support will be available to participants throughout the year as needed. The sessions will be a mixture of group learning and discussions.
