“In high-performing systems, teachers are resourced, encouraged, and expected to work with and learn from each other." ~ Andy Hargreavves, Leading Teacher, March 2012

UW Bothell is now accepting applications for its new Master's program, Leadership Development for Educators Program (LEDE) for autumn quarter. LEDE is designed for teachers who work as instructional leaders in either formal or informal roles, and provides a pathway from teacher leadership into the principalship. Founded on an understanding that principals succeed by leading supports for teaching and learning, the first part of the program helps teachers advance their skills for leading instruction and includes a job-embedded internship. The second part builds expertise for school-wide leadership expertise through academic and practical experiences. This two-part design ensures a strong connection between program requirements and the everyday needs of schools.
If you are interested in the principalship and are currently engaged in working with other teachers to improve instruction, this program is designed to give credit for your current work andto support your continuing efforts as a teacher leader.
The application deadline for Autumn Quarter 2011 is on August 11. The program invites applications from currently employed teachers with a Washington Professional Teacher Certification or a Continuing Teacher Certification who have formal or well-documented informal teacher instructional leadership experience and responsibilities.
