Our collective power expands when we support each other to foster the unlimited potential of each and every student.
Congratulations PRN 2024 Graduates!
What sets Principal Residency Network (PRN) grads apart?
PRN Graduates share a vision of what educational equity in schools looks, sounds, and feels like for all students. Through job-embedded action in their residency, they learn how to move their schools towards that vision through relationship-building, facilitating adult learning, and long-term planning. Using research-based practices, they lead cycles of improvement that challenge educational inequities and increase equity for students.
Join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PRN 2024 Cohort!

CLEE Facilitative Leadership Institute - Grow Your Skills as an Equity Leader
position in our organization or school. The Facilitative Leadership Institute builds your capacity to be a leader for equity. Facilitative Leadership provides leaders and educators a place to share best practice, engage using collaborative tools that strengthen leadership skills, and challenge thinking to discover ways that ultimately increase equity in our school communities.
You may recognize this as professional development for Reflective Learning Communities, Teacher Leader Training, Critical Friendship, Foundations in Facilitative Leadership, or PLC Coach/Facilitator Training.
You Will Build Capacity to:
Facilitate feedback rounds using protocols
Use facilitation to support equity in participant voice, student learning outcomes, and systems and structures
Select and use a variety of learning protocols
CLEE Community of Practice - Reenergize your Practice by Collaborating with Colleagues
Do you want to feel more connected to educators outside of your everyday setting? Do you want to see how your practice can grow from receiving powerful feedback? We know the best way to transform educational leadership and practice is in community with colleagues, but that is not always available, or you may just want more!
CLEE is here to help with a virtual Community of Practice (CoP)! Gather with a community of colleagues in a convenient setting and learn from peers from across the country sharing their experiences and expertise through feedback rounds. Our best practices are best when shared!
Each month, CLEE offers a question or two to help you reflect on what you are experiencing. Thinking about the importance of questioning and what your answers mean is one more step in your growth as a leader for equity.
Join CLEE on social media to follow the monthly questions and share your answers.
How are you celebrating the successes from this year? What can you and others learn from them?
