GSLA

The Governor’s School Leadership Academy provides a comprehensive and equitable system of support to build the capacity of Georgia educators and leaders. Chattahoochee Flint RESA provides support for principals, aspiring principal, teacher leader support and induction teacher support.

The Principal Support Program serves principals who are currently leading a federally designated (CSI, TSI, Promise, or SIG) school. Three cohorts are established each year that are aligned to the Georgia Department of Education’s School Improvement Regions.

The Aspiring Principal Program is developed and facilitated by GSLA staff and includes educators who serve in Georgia school districts with at least one federally identified school, have 3 or more years of effective practice, and have an expressed desire to become a principal. Candidates are selected based on a rigorous recommendation, application, and interview process, and cohorts include educators from around the state.

The Teacher Leader Support Program is delivered through the RESA Network and serves multiple cohorts of teachers with 5 or more years of experience who are interested in exploring leadership roles inside and outside of the classroom. Candidates are selected based on a rigorous application and interview process, and cohorts are established based on RESA districts.

Induction Teacher Support Program is delivered through the RESA Network and serves multiple cohorts of teachers in years 1-3 of practice. Candidates are selected within each RESA based on capacity and district interest.

Dr. Valerie Roberts is the RESA coach for principals and aspiring principals.

Mrs. Dee Studdard is the RESA coach for teacher leaders and teacher induction.
