Elementary School Principal Community of Practice

Home E Events E Elementary School Principal Community of Practice
15 PDPs
Administration

This community is designed to connect elementary school principals from around the state both during our virtual meetings and as partners between meetings via email. Participants will engage in short, immersive PD sessions targeted to the needs of elementary school principals such as the fundamentals of early childhood education, literacy leadership, AI, legal issues, and more. Topics will be introduced by the facilitator and also suggested by the group. We will prioritize targeted PD and the sharing of problems of practice, so participants are asked to come prepared to discuss (confidentially) current situations they are facing or questions about leading an elementary school community to optimize student outcomes. Participants will have the opportunity to share practices from their schools and to learn about a topic of priority concern for elementary school principals. 

The Elementary School Principal Community of Practice will gather virtually once each month for 90 minutes. Participants who attend all 10 sessions and log their attendance will earn 15 PDPs in Administrative Leadership. Meetings will take place virtually via Google Meets, on Thursdays, 9:30-11. Members of the Elementary Principal PLC can register for the November CES Annual Legal Issues Seminar at no additional cost, and will receive a coupon code for their registration to that event. There will be no PLC meeting in the month of November. 

Our communities of practice are designed to offer participants a space to gather with one another and share individual expertise as practitioners. Accordingly, our regular routine will include the following:

  • Welcome and review of agenda (5 minutes) 
  • Sharing problems of practice (40 minutes)
  • Targeted PD session (25 minutes)
  • Q & A about the PD topic (10 minutes)
  • Closing with gratitude & feedback (10 minutes)
