2024-2025 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 job-embedded, actionable leadership seminars, monthly workshops, site visits and bi-weekly coaching sessions with principal coaches. The philosophy of this model builds in high levels of support for leaders (via principal coaches) throughout the program to sustain and integrate the skills and behaviors learned during the seminars.
Leadership Matters
Principals across the state of Colorado are working in complex, dynamic learning environments and leading in times of uncertainty. Colorado needs resilient leaders who are skilled to lead through the daily challenges and increasing pressures of public education. Investing in principal coaching is the best way to ensure our leaders are equipped to lead effectively.
Theory of Action
IF principals can build systems that create a sense of collective teacher efficacy and a culture and climate that empowers,
THEN teacher retention and satisfaction will increase, and this will have a positive impact on student learning outcomes.
