The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) believes that student achievement and teacher retention are closely linked to the quality of leadership school principals provide. To support future school leaders' development, the LDOE offers the Aspiring Principal Fellowship. This program aims to equip aspiring school leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to confidently step into the principal role and effectively support students and teachers.
Participants in the fellowship will engage in four immersive full-day school visits, where they will collaborate closely with exemplary practicing principals from across the state. In addition, they will attend three full-day professional learning meetings that align with current state initiatives. All content is designed to align with Louisiana’s education priorities and the Louisiana Leader Rubric, emphasizing the principal’s role in instructional leadership that drives student achievement.
