Teacher & Staff Leadership
Embedded Files
We are committed to identifying opportunities to elevate voices within IPS and recognize team members through additional leadership roles and compensation. This provides teachers and staff exciting avenues to learn new skills, take on additional responsibilities, and expand their impact beyond their current focus and individual school.
The district offers eight leadership roles ranging from mentoring peers to managing school-based devices — each role includes professional development, a cohort model and annual compensation ranging from $1,000 to $7,000 that’s dependent on the role.
