Preparing Principals to Meet the Needs of Each Student

Webinar Information

This webinar focused on the preparation of principals to meet the needs of each student, including those with disabilities and others who struggle in school. Nationally, and in some states, standards and competencies for principals are currently being revised, making this an opportune time to ensure that principals are well prepared to meet the needs of each student. This webinar provided an overview of how changes in principal preparation standards leverage redesign efforts, and discussed resources and support related to these required changes in leadership preparation programs.

Goals: Viewers will gain understanding of:

  1. National standards and competencies for principal preparation from the National Policy Board for Educational Administration (NPBEA)
  2. Recently published Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) document that extends principal standards to address instructional leadership for students with disabilities and others who struggle in school
  3. Issues and approaches for refreshing educational leadership programs to prepare principals to meet the needs of each student with resources to support this work.
