NELA 2.0 must develop and provide a high-quality continuing professional development and individual executive coaching program to help principals who serve in rural, geographically isolated, high-need schools become instructional leaders for digital learning environments, which are aligned to career and college ready standards. Further, the principals will master the essential leadership skill of providing targeted, corrective feedback to teachers that enables them to improve their teaching practice. Preference for participation will be given to recently appointed principals and assistant principals in schools under NCLB mandated sanctions.

Below is a sample of the type of learning that will occur during the Principal Academy.
