USC creates leadership pipeline for school administrators

SC TEACHER, a research consortium housed in the USC College of Education, recently conducted biennial surveys on teacher working conditions in the state. Their data found a positive association between educator retention and their receipt of appropriate administrative support. 

  • Accordingly, the college launched the Assistant Principal Leadership Lab to support graduates who are in their first year as administrative assistants or assistant principals. 
What it is
The program will serve assistant principals for those three years in a hybrid format, combining in-person and virtual meetings. 
  • Participants will receive personalized instruction that covers cross-school relationships, coaching, technology and more.
Extended support
“Participants not only will develop as leaders but also be supported through those first three years to encourage their retention in school leadership.” — Suzy Hardie, clinical professor, USC College of Education 

Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
