Throughout the school year, MCPS has offered Cohort Inspire, an MCPS professional development opportunity for current and aspiring leaders trying to better understand the roles and responsibilities of a high-impact school principal and develop their leadership knowledge, attitudes and skills to work in a high-impact school.
Recently, 29 participants completed the program, which focused on five key areas for effective principal leadership: leading with equity, instructional focus, school climate, building collaborative professional learning communities, and strategic personnel and resource management. “I valued the cohort discussion as it was vulnerable, rich, purpose-driven and passionate,” one participant shared. Another commented that the experience provided “access to conversations that promote and support much-needed changes, as well as a reminder of what needs to be done in a high-impact school.”
Cohort Inspire provided a comprehensive self-assessment, research on best practices, as well as personalized coaching and monthly learning opportunities. During the collaborative sessions, participants expanded their MCPS leadership network, heard from internal and external experts, and engaged in activities and reflection. Cohort Inspire will welcome a new group of leaders next year. Watch The Bulletin for announcements about joining the next cohort in the fall.
