“We were so excited and impressed with the engagement and enthusiasm around the spring and summer sessions of the Tennessee Principal Professional Learning Series,\u201d said Dr. Jim McIntyre, Director of the Center for Educational Leadership. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership with the department has provided hundreds of school leaders and district staff with essential skills and resources to enhance student learning and success during this challenging school year. We look forward to continuing this important effort to support school principals this fall,\u201d McIntyre stated.<\/p>\n

Each 90-minute live session will include breakout groups where principals will be able to discuss session content, reflect on their experiences, and exchange best practices with their peers. All Tennessee principals are welcome to participate in live sessions. Exclusive sessions are also being offered to participants of the Rural Principals Network and Intensive Transformation Cohort (ITC).
