To develop and coach first-year principals to enhance their leadership skills through a comprehensive and multifaceted approach. This program is designed to support new principals in their crucial first year by offering a blend of in-person and virtual training sessions, along with personalized coaching tailored to meet their individual needs.

The in-person training sessions provide hands-on experience and direct interaction with experienced mentors and peers, allowing for real-time feedback and collaborative learning. These sessions create an immersive environment where principals can engage deeply with the material and practice new skills in a supportive setting.

Virtual training sessions offer flexibility and accessibility, enabling principals to learn at their own pace and from any location. These online modules are designed to cover a wide range of topics, from instructional strategies to leadership best practices, ensuring a well-rounded development experience.

In addition to these training sessions, we offer personalized coaching that focuses on the unique challenges and opportunities each principal faces. This one-on-one support helps to address specific areas of need, provides targeted feedback, and fosters continuous improvement. By combining these different methods of support, we aim to equip first-year principals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to lead their schools effectively and make a positive impact on their educational communities.
