We are excited to announce the formation of a third Principal Leadership Consortium (PLC). This advanced training in McREL’s research-based Balanced Leadership Model will be available to Missouri principals during the 2008-09 school year. McREL developed the Balanced Leadership Model based on information from a meta-analysis of leadership studies conducted over the past twenty years. Their analysis proved definitively that “leadership does matter”. They identified distinct responsibilities school leaders have that are directly tied to improved student achievement. Training in the model is available exclusively from the Missouri Council of School Administrators.
The over 200 administrators who have attended this well received training encouraged us to begin a third Consortium to continue to provide the training to other Missouri school leaders. Their comments include:
The Consortium will consist of approximately 30 learning-focused principals from around the state who are dedicated change agents in Missouri schools. It will meet for four, two-day sessions during the next year. While being exposed to the latest research, participants will have opportunities to collaborate with their peers as they operationalize their learning. Sessions will be comprised of a careful blend of research and practical application.
