Start-up Strategies for Principals and Administrators
Best Practices for Building Your School-Wide Team
March 23 & March 24, 2021
For Principals, Administrators & Instructional Leaders
This institute was designed to provide administrators with the tools to successfully implement a freshman transition initiative to improve academic achievement as part of their redesign efforts. Based on The George Washington University’s Freshman Transition Initiative model, participants will apply that framework as they develop a plan to transform their school culture into a collaborative learning community focused on results.
Throughout the sessions, the presenter will guide participants in using authentic data from their own school/district to:
- Identify the core values within the community, district, and school
- Establish measurable and attainable evidence to support their freshman efforts
- Develop at least four goals for the freshman transition initiative based on the data
- Strategize how to make staff assignments and build collaborative teams
- Participating administrators will leave with their own strategic plan including goals, activities, timelines, responsibilities, costs, funding sources, and evidence.
- High school or middle school principals and vice principals
- Superintendents
- District administrators responsible for school improvement
- Graduates of the Freshman Transition Leadership Institute
