In the Training and Professional Development Department, we strongly believe that effective leadership is essential to the success of every child.

DEEL (Developing Exemplary Educational Leaders) is a career ladder for administrators.  The primary purpose of the DEEL program is to nurture, educate, and sustain an exceptional cadre of educational leaders.  It is a four-tiered structure.

Level I

Strong teacher-leaders, who are considering a career in administration, are provided a leadership credit class including on-site training and exposure to the principalship.

Level II

The Administrative Trainee Program provides an authentic and substantive preparatory experience for aspiring administrators who are enrolled in an educational leadership program.

Level III

The Principal Mentoring Program (Mentor level) provides mentor training to experienced administrators.  These trained mentors support new administrators during their first and second years of service.

Level V

The Leadership Academy serves as the cornerstone of our Administrative Program by providing opportunities for all of our leaders to develop and further refine their individual leadership skills.

Professional Development is ongoing.  We invite you to take time to grow, stretch, and broaden your talents.  If administration is your interest, contact:
