Program Overview
TLC Administrator Support Program Description: The TLC Administrator Support Program will be a comprehensive, year-long professional development program focusing on building the capacity of the principal to develop and facilitate distributed leadership in their school, namely by supporting and leveraging teacher leaders as part of the leadership team.
The program will include:
• three day summer intensive for principals and members of the district leadership
• on-going workshops during the school year for the principal and the building TLC team
• individualized school-based coaching provided on a monthly basis
Participation: The 2015-16 school year is a pilot year for this program. The program is designed to build capacity across the state for continued support and participation. There are limited numbers of openings in the program for 2015-16. In order to support the most number of school buildings, two systems of delivery have been planned. One system will be state supported with leadership coaches providing delivery within each AEA region. The other opportunity will be for districts to build their capacity by identifying and having their own leadership coaches trained to support their building administrators. A selection process for school and district participation has been identified. Further details will be shared at the ZOOM informational sessions and on the TLC webpage.
