Leadership Programs 

The Teacher Leader & Innovation Academy provides an overview of the process of school improvement. The purpose of the Teacher Leadership Academy is to equip teacher leaders with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to lead school-level teams of teachers in improving student achievement. Candidates attend sessions where they receive direct instruction and practice expected skills prior to leading a team in this work. This job-embedded process focuses on the real work of schools, adding immediate value to the school and district.

Candidates who apply and are selected to participate in this experience, will earn a Teacher Leader Endorsement from Georgia Professional Standards Commission upon successful completion of course work and attendance. 

The Aspiring Leaders Program is a program for leaders who are already in a leadership role (Assistant Principal or Principal) who are working toward their Education Leadership Tier I certification or already possess the certification. This program aspires to equip current leaders with the knowledge, skills and abilities to effectively and successfully lead and collaborate with students, teachers, parents, and the community.
