​Principal Leadership Institute

The Principal Leadership Institute is a two-year program focusing on developing the leadership capacity of principals.  There are three pathways a principal can choose for a coaching focus – Distributive Leadership, Early Literacy (Science of Reading) Implementation, or First-Year Principals. Principal participants work alongside exemplary principal coaches using a Cognitive Coaching℠ framework. The program framework consists of a 2-day retreat, site visits, bi-weekly coaching sessions with principal coaches, regular networking sessions, and access to learning modules.  Visit the PLI webpage.
