National Principal Supervisor Academy
Partners in Progress: Transforming Principal Support

Transform how principals lead instruction through this game-changing partnership between AASA and the University of Washington's Center for Educational Leadership. Designed specifically for central office champions who nurture principal growth, this standards-based academy doesn't just develop skills—it unleashes leadership excellence!
This academy draws from the CCSSO principal supervisor standards, research by the Wallace Foundation, and the Model Principal Supervisor Standards.
Participants will:
- Receive individual coaching
- Work from problems of practice
- Connect with peers in virtual professional learning communities
- And more!
Nationwide, district leaders are working to support principals at scale, especially in times of unprecedented change. Successful supervision now demands innovative approaches, emphasizing partnership, teaching and mutual accountability.
Upon successful completion of this program, participants will receive an AASA/CEL diploma of completion and professional achievement, a valuable addition to their professional portfolio.

Apply TodayI am much more cognizant about protecting principals’ instructional leadership time. Also, on my site visits and in my conversations with principals, I am constantly thinking about the through line to students and how what we are doing is going to impact student learning. This Academy has brought increased awareness and reflection to my practice.
