A new, joint program created in partnership by the Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA) and the Association of Washington School Principals (AWSP).
Welcome to our Web site!
The Washington State Leadership Academy (WSLA) is focused on higher student achievement for every child by:
-
Engaging school and district administrators in transformative leadership practices.
-
Building and supporting strong, effective teams to solve complex issues related to teaching and learning.
-
Heightening education leaders’ awareness and ability to self-assess the personal characteristics and practices that lead to high performing organizations.
- Helping individuals and teams implement leader behaviors that will lead to more effective systems.
What people are saying...
"Learning to lead and leaders as learners are not new ideas, but the Washington State Leadership Academy will take these concepts to new levels. This highly interactive, learning-by-doing program will make it possible for leadership teams from districts around the state to focus on a problem of practice as they learn and apply new skills to solving that problem. Participants will have the unique opportunity to bring their work to the academy and bring the academy to their work." |
