This five-day intensive support program is divided into two distinct activities. The first is a three-day in-person crash course in which participants dive deeper into the Louisiana Leader Rubric and Educator Rubric, the policies and expectations governing school leaders' behaviors, and, most importantly, a direct and concentrated effort to improve student outcomes through instructional leadership.
Once EDL Alternative Pathway 4 Boot Camp participants have completed the first three days of in-person training with the LDOE, they will conduct two on-site observations and feedback sessions with their assigned mentors. These on-site activities can occur at the participant’s and mentor’s schools.
Participants who complete all aspects of the Boot Camp and successfully pass the School Leaders Licensure Assessment will then be allowed to apply for certification and begin their new careers as school leaders.
