What is the Principal Pathway residency program?
The Principal Pathway residency program exists to build a bench of high-performing, authentic leaders who serve to fulfill the YES Prep mission and vision as a potential Principal, for both elementary and secondary schools. The residency is a 1-2 year paid position that offers individualized development and coaching under the guidance of a campus Lead Principal and the Leadership Development team.
Residents are developed through a cohort model that focuses on connecting data, relationships, ideas, and people. They implement campus vision through management of the leadership team in partnership with the Lead Principal at their assigned campus.
Residents learn by doing and creating a portfolio of resources that can be used once promoted into the Principal role. Additionally, the resident cohort participates in a deep study of literature on equity, leadership, and instruction throughout the residency that grounds them in the work they do to ensure we increase student achievement.
Residents have an abundance of professional learning activities including a summer induction, midyear intersession, frequent coaching sessions, site visits, and experiential learning opportunities.
