The principals are Wendy
Brewington of Ward Elementary, Sara Cook of Middle Fork Elementary, Patricia
Gainey of East Forsyth High, Tricia Spencer of South Fork Elementary and Ramona
Warren of Sedge Garden Elementary.
Designed and provided by the N.
C. Principals and Assistant Principal’s Association in partnership with the N.
C. Department of Public Instruction and UNC-LearnNC, the program uses a
non-traditional professional development model that is aligned to the
performance evaluation standards adopted by the State Board of Education for North Carolina ’s school
leaders.
The program is designed to
limit principals’ time away from their schools by allowing them to attend
face-to-face sessions once every other month while accessing on-line
assignments, materials and coaching in between face-to-face sessions.
Principals engage in a series of authentic activities throughout the year-long
experience that are designed to build the capacity of their schools and their
own capacity as “Distinguished” school leaders.
”The leadership of the school
principal is by far one of the most important factors in school quality,” said
Dr. Shirley Prince, NCPAPA Executive Director. “By completing this very
rigorous program, our DLP graduates have demonstrated their commitment to
continuous improvement by working to improve their leadership skills as they
simultaneously improve their schools. We are proud to include them in the ranks
of successful DLP completers.”
This program is offered in
three locations - Wilmington , Raleigh
and Charlotte -
in order to serve principals in all eight regions of the state.
The N. C. Principals and
Assistant Principals’ Association (NCPAPA), which was established in 1976, has 4,500
members across the state and serves as the state’s principal affiliate of the
N.C. Association of School Administrators (NCASA), the National Association of
Elementary School Principals (NAESP), and the National Association of Secondary
School Principals (NASSP).
