The Minnesota Principals’ Academy is a powerful and much-needed
source of support for principals across our state as they play their
critical and challenging roles in improving schools and raising student
achievement. The University of Minnesota’s Consortium for
Post-Secondary Academic Success is coordinating the Academy;The academy is
funded by Minnesota Legislature appropriation,
and was created in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of
Education, Minnesota Elementary School Principals' Association, the
Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals, and the
University of Minnesota.
Using a train-the-trainer delivery model, the Minnesota Principals' Academy plans to provide continuing leadership development for
principals over the next several years. During 2006-2007, 48
Minnesota principals and school leaders were trained by National Institute for School Leadership experts.
For a list of these 48 leaders, with their contact information, click on the Leadership Team 06-07 document below. (This is an Excel spreadsheet.)
Starting in June 2007, members of the Leadership Team delivered the NISL curriculum to the first cohort of principals
from across the state. For a list of these principals, with their contact information, click on the Cohort One 07-08 document below. (This is an Excel spreadsheet.)
