Mission and Goals
Program Impact:
- Strengthen leadership for schools.
- Develop coaching as an academic discipline.
- Improve quality of current principals by developing a learning community of on-site supervisors.
- Be a leader in the role of higher education in principal preparation.
- Retain and support school leaders.
Goals:
To create a research-based, model pilot-program supporting new administrators through coaching, and to provide coach training and develop coaches committed to the success of new leaders.
Guiding Principles:
The success of school improvement efforts is dependent on effective school leadership.
Administrators need intense support in their early years on the job (induction) to master the managerial and emotional demands of the position and emerge as effective leaders who can guide their schools toward improved student achievement.
Working with an outside coach is a desirable coaching model, as it may be difficult to establish a coaching relationship built on trust and confidentiality with a senior administrator working in the same district as the new principal.
Professional coaching requires the development of quality coaches. It involves learning new, sometimes complex skills and understandings. (Pedagogy of coaching.)
Coaches need systems of support that provide the status, time, development and recognition to function in this demanding role.
Universities must take a fresh perspective by offering effective support for graduates as they transition to new leadership roles.
The Program for New Principals is supported by a grant from Washington Mutual. |
