Early Career Principal Community of Practice

Schools and districts need strong early career principals, who work tirelessly to support student learning and to keep schools running smoothly.

During each session, members have the opportunity to present a personal problem of practice, if they so choose, for group discussion. It’s important to note that member privacy is strictly upheld, and discussions are never recorded. The latter portion of each meeting offers members a chance to network, exchange resources, seek support, and celebrate successes within their leadership practices.
