This event was originally planned for and by Assistant Principals who know what they need to improve learning in their schools, but as we collaborated with the presenters, we decided to open this day up to all ALI members. The event will look at how the school leadership team can promote both academic success and the learning environment by building a community of leaders and learners. This day is to support the assistant principal’s role on instructional supports, data analysis, and owning your student’s growth to mastery. Each of our three presenters will have about 45 minutes to share information about their schools, their school’s learning/leadership teams, and to offer insight into their school and the role that an assistant principal may fill in any given year. Leadership in urban schools is important for creating a vision of educational excellence and we all know that leaders in all our Tennessee Public Schools must communicate a vision, build a team, create a positive culture, and manage instructional leadership teams. Urban schools face other challenges such as poverty, race and class issues, and funding, but more recently, the issues we once viewed as ‘urban’ are now front and center in our ‘suburban’ and ‘rural’ learning environments.

Our new platinum partner, Evress, will also be available to share Tennessee-specific data. They will help us clearly understand how data analysis can support your work.
