The following PowerPoint slides were designed to accompany the documents used at the second technical assistance session (TA #2) regarding the Professional Development Initiative for School Leaders. The slides and documents provided to participants at TA #2 are intended to be used to build school leader capacity regarding the professional learning requirements listed in N.J.A.C. 6A:9-16.

The Professional Development Initiative for School Leaders seeks to build the instructional leadership capabilities of principals, supervisors, and superintendents through a standard-based and job-embedded approach to professional growth.

The 2004-05 academic year, is a "developmental year" for the initiative. The developmental year allows for training, preparation and feedback from the field prior to full implementation. This is part of the New Jersey Department of Education’s commitment to educators as we partner with the New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association, the New Jersey Association of School Administrators and others to implement another meaningful, high quality professional learning component within New Jersey education.
