NAESP Centers for Advancing Leadership

Overview 

While similar in nature, each center will develop its own approach to deepen and broaden learning focused on the learning interests of participants.  Each center is led by fellows who are well-respected, experienced leaders with a track record of connecting with colleagues and creating powerful professional networks.  The role of the fellows is to facilitate learning and professional growth related to current and emerging issues; identify and share best practices, current research and resources; promote the essential leadership role of the principal; and create a network of colleagues with an interest in expanding their learning. Leaders who choose to participate in learning through the centers will share experiences with colleagues while moving at their own pace.  Leaders can choose to participate in more than one center and are encouraged to explore topics that will benefit them as professionals.
