Professional Standards for Educational Leaders: Informational Webinar Series
The Office of Leadership Development and School Improvement partnered with the Mid-Atlantic Comprehensive Center @ WestEd to develop a four-part informational webinar series on the Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (PSEL). The intent of the series is to build a common understanding of how school leaders can implement standards to promote each student's academic success and well-being (see Figure 1).
Each webinar, which lasts approximately 20-30 minutes, can be viewed below or by clicking on the YouTube link provided.
Each Reflection Sheet is designed to accompany the webinar to provide the viewer with an opportunity to reflect on the content to improve professional practice. Completion and submission of the Reflection Sheet for each webinar is required for Promising Principals' Academy participants seeking continuing professional development credit.
