Description: Professional support for principals is important for fostering high-quality leadership and can produce a positive environment for school communities. However, access to consistent professional support can be difficult for school leaders located in rural or isolated communities. Through the Partnership for the Improvement of Teaching in the Federated States of Micronesia, REL Pacific staff worked collaboratively with stakeholders to organize a multi-year coaching and training project to support school leaders as they mapped out professional learning activities for their respective schools, guided by accountability requirements for accreditation found in the FSM Department of Education Accreditation Manual. This webinar will share the research base from that work and will include stakeholder input on what has made the work successful.
