Principal and Teacher Leaders: On the Path to School Transformation

The PAGE Principal and Teacher Leadership Network is a twoyear experience whereby principals and teachers collaborate to develop engagement-focused schools.

Educators in engagement-focused schools spend time getting to know students well and design rigorous, relevant work that students find interesting. Principal and teacher teams from each school apply their growing understanding of transformational change, capacity building, engagement and design to improve their schools.

As a team, participants are in year two of assembling artifacts of their work and are creating a portfolio chronicling the work they will lead in their respective school or district. The school teams in this network learn from each other and, just as importantly, from other educators in districts across the state. For more information about the PAGE Principal and Teacher Leadership Network, please contact Angela Garrett at 706-459-0302 or agarrett@pageinc.org. n
