Maryland State Superintendent of Schools Lillian M. Lowery will address emerging school leaders at the first Governor\u2019s Promising Principals Academy this Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The Academy is a unique effort by the Maryland State Department of Education to prepare the next generation of principals.\u00a0 Research has repeatedly shown that an effective principal is the key to a successful school.\u00a0 Governor Martin O’Malley has challenged Maryland to create a pipeline to identify, nurture, and support the development of great principals.<\/p>\n
Two participants from each of Maryland\u2019s 24 local school systems have been taking part in the Academy.\u00a0 Participants were nominated by their local superintendent based on their interest, current position, and leadership potential.\u00a0 The summer conference\u2014aligned to principal evaluation standards\u2014is the first time the entire cohort of promising principals has gathered as a whole.<\/p>\n
Dr. Lowery\u2019s address will take place on the final day of the three-day residential academy.\u00a0 Participants have been immersed in intensive professional development on subjects ranging from synergistics to ethics.\u00a0 For more on the Promising Principals Academy, see:https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/promisingprincipals<\/a>.<\/p>\n WHO: <\/strong>State Superintendent Lillian M.
