The ESC's Aspiring Leaders Program was developed to strengthen school district leadership pipelines. Participants meet to get a better understanding of the essential responsibilities, skills, challenges, and rewards associated with school administration from a practitioner’s perspective.
This program allows school leaders to:
- Explore typical duties of a building administrator to help them make an informed decision relative to entering a principal-preparation program;
- Enhance leadership skills and recognize personal strengths and weaknesses;
- Interact with current building and district administrators;
- Complete a leadership project on behalf of their school or district; and
- Increase their knowledge and skills around the Ohio Principal Standards.
