Future-Ready Leadership
Applications for the 2024-2025 cohort have closed.
Future-Ready Leadership (FRL) is a leadership development program for practicing assistant principals. The program, provided by the NC Principals and Assistant Principals’ Association, is aligned to the performance evaluation standards adopted by the State Board of Education for North Carolina’s school leaders. Through this cohort-driven model, assistant principals will participate in six face-to-face sessions and engage in assignments, projects, and readings designed to build the capacity of their schools and their own capacity as “Future-Ready” school leaders.
This opportunity is available for any practicing assistant principal who is committed to professional growth and who commits to participating fully in all FRL activities. Program cost will be covered by NCPAPA, however lodging, if needed, and travel will be the responsibility of the participant or district.
For 24-25, cohort sessions will likely take place in Raleigh and Chapel Hill. Participants will be assigned a cohort based on their location. All dates have not been determined but typically they are in September, October, December, February, March and April/May.
