Iowa Principal Leadership Academy to Begin Two New Cohorts

Educational leaders in training
Prairie Lakes AEA and Keystone AEA will begin two new cohorts of the Iowa Principal Leadership Academy in April 2023. We would appreciate district administrators sharing this brochure with any interested staff.

Iowa Principal Leadership Academy is an alternative licensure program for PK-12 Principal and PK-12 Supervisor of Special Education endorsements. Upon completion of the program participants are recommended for endorsement for Iowa only.

We are not affiliated with any college or university and don't confer any credits except for teaching license renewal. Our program is a stand-alone in that candidates have to be part of the program for the full two years for us to recommend them for a license with the Iowa Bureau of Educational Examiners.

Participants in the program need to already have received a master's degree before beginning our program. We meet one in-person Saturday per month for two years and then we have additional five days that are scheduled to complete evaluator training components during the course of the two years. Coursework and internship is completed in your current district with the assistance of a mentor principal. This is not an online program and requires work with other participants onsite in collaborative work.

Total tuition cost is $6,600 with additional if license renewal is desired. Our next group begins on April 8, 2023. We have two sites for the program - Storm Lake and also a partner program in Keystone AEA in Elkader.

Attached is a program brochure that can be shared with your staff. Other additional information about the program and the application process is available on the Prairie Lakes AEA website. Application to program is recommended by Jan. 1, 2023.
