Tomorrow’s top principals are already leading in our schools.
Help us make Chicago the best city in the country to lead a public school.
The Chicago Principal Partnership is committed to strengthening principal leadership in Chicago because we recognize that principal quality is one of the most powerful drivers of student success.
We provide programs and resources to support the city's next generation of school leaders: the teacher-leaders and assistant principals learning on the job every day. We designed our suite of programs and tailored professional development opportunities with these aspiring leaders in mind.
We cannot do this work alone. Key partners help us develop a strong citywide talent pipeline. We work with educators, civic leaders, and local universities to make Chicago's principal talent pool more prepared, diverse, and visible.
