Making strong leaders even stronger.
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
  • Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals
  • 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.  For a list of all Minnesota principals and school leaders who have been selected to participate in the academy since the first cohort in 2006, scroll to the PDF document below.
