Abstract | In the Washoe County School District (WCSD), in Reno, Nevada, school leaders climb a steep ladder from the moment they contemplate a career in administration. Fortunately, they are supported at each step in the process, thanks to the Principals' Academy. This approach helps principals fulfill their critical mission of providing a link between policy and student achievement, articulating vision and strengthening instructional delivery, working directly with students and teachers, and playing a key role in a district's administrative agenda. WCSD principals follow an articulated plan of career development that supports their growing expertise for the sake of improved student achievement. The Principals' Academy is a 10-tier approach to recruiting, building, developing, and strengthening principal leadership. Following the tenets of the professional learning community concept (DuFour & Eaker, 1998) and driven by the active instructional leadership vehicle of the walk-through process (Werlinich, 2004), the 10-tier model professionalizes the principalship, from prenovice to distinguished expertise. The Principals' Academy is a collaborative effort of the WCSD, the University of Nevada, the University of Phoenix, the University of Pittsburgh, and WestEd. This article discusses each of the 10-tier approach to principal development. (ERIC). |
