GAEL Assistant Principals Support Program 2010-11

Event Information

Description

GAEL Assistant Principals Support Program 2010-11 Goals • Develop an awareness of the issues and problems participants may encounter on the job and the array of resources and processes available to address them • Enhance participants’ organizational and leadership skills • Provide information concerning the effective operation of schools within established legal and ethical principles • Provide opportunities for discussion with successful principals concerning current trends and issues and their implications for educational improvement • Develop a cadre of school leaders who seek new and innovative approaches to the challenges of educating Georgia’s youth • Assist participants in the development of a network of professional contacts and resources • Increase pride, prestige, trust and confidence in public education and the educational leaders in the public schools in Georgia Rationale The responsibilities of public school leaders are very complex – building manager, human resource administrator, change agent, student disciplinarian, cheerleader, instructional leader, school improvement specialist, and in some cases, surrogate parent. Fulfilling these roles in a positive and successful manner is challenging for many experienced building level leaders. Inexperienced leaders need help ‘staying focused on the big picture’ and need to be provided opportunities for collaborative and reflective learning. Priority will be given to the first 75 applicants.
