Turnaround Leadership Initiative
Teachers21 has been awarded the Turnaround Leadership Initiative contract by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Designed and offered in collaboration with the NYC Leadership Academy, this rigorous training program will prepare experienced and aspiring principals to lead the highest-need schools in Massachusetts. It is a highly-selective, cost-free program for educators with a commitment to closing the achievement gap and will lead to certification.
Both programs–one for experienced principals and the other for aspiring principals–begin with an intensive summer experience in July. Experienced principals then return to their schools or take on a new school assignment. During the next school year, they have release time for additional training and benefit from regular support from a highly skilled, experienced coach. If accepted as an aspiring principal, participants receive an administrative salary for the duration of the program. In the fall, they are assigned four days a week to schools with highly effective principals who serve as their mentors during the residency experience; they also receive coaching and attend full-day trainings that position them to be the frontrunners for principal openings in high-need schools across Massachusetts.
Applications to the program are sought by mid-February and the program will begin in late June. READ MORE BELOW:

In either case, you must change the name of the file to include your own name in order to save the document.
