Instructional Leadership Professional Development
Our Instructional Leadership Professional Development (ILPD) is a summer-only training designed for leadership team members.
Program Overview
In response to partner and participant feedback around further building alignment within systems and schools, we offer an opportunity for leaders to join a summer-only training around the same core instructional levers as are developed more deeply in our NPAF and NPSA year-long programs. While the Instructional Leader Professional Development (ILPD) program is open to all leaders, it is particularly well suited for leadership team members (assistant principals, instructional coaches, etc.) as a complement to their principal and principal manager’s attendance in NPAF and NPSA.
Ideal Candidate
Non-principal leaders, like assistant principals, instructional coaches, etc, are ideal candidates for the Instructional Leadership Professional Development program. This curriculum can complement the following programs:

Our team's participation in the Relay programming helped us to prioritize our efforts and give consideration to the key moves we should make around change management.
Anetra's Story
“Anyone who has engaged in the work of school turnaround knows its complexity. Our team's participation in the Relay programming helped us to prioritize our efforts and give consideration to the key moves we should make around change management. The clarity of the protocols removed many of the questions around the work ahead while and served as a roadmap to achieving our goal of lifting student achievement. Leverage Leadership Institute took my practice to a whole new level as I was able to learn and grow from the expertise of highly successful practitioners from so many contexts. I am prepared for the current challenges of school leadership because of the Relay Leadership Programs.”
