Description
This grant program seeks to provide local educational agencies (LEAs)
eligible for Title II, A funding with an opportunity to build strong campus
leaders through principal residencies.
LEAs that are awarded this grant will have the opportunity to identify
strong principal candidates from among their current staff, partner with an
effective principal preparation program that provides training focused on best
practices in campus leadership, including a concentrated focus in instructional
leadership, and offer those candidates authentic campus-based leadership experiences
throughout their residency year.
This grant seeks to help support internal leadership pipelines within
an LEA for existing staff. It is very likely that residents would be classroom
teachers who have demonstrated instructional success and strong leadership
potential and would remain classroom teachers during their resident year
experience.
Application Deadline
Applications must be
received by the Texas Education Agency by 5:00 p.m. (Central Time), March 13,
2018, to be considered for funding.
