The Principal Fellowship
PIC's three-part program model combines rigorous leadership development in design thinking, well-being and transformative leadership, equipping leaders to create the conditions necessary for students to thrive. PIC principals are more visionary, innovative and resilient, and graduate from our two-year fellowship re-energized in their roles and prepared to put big ideas into action at their schools.
Leadership Lab with Crowley ISD
PIC created Leadership Lab in response to a growing demand for central office school leaders to experience professional learning at a level of quality and frequency comparable to principal and teacher development. Leadership Lab is an adaptation of PIC’s three-part program model. This program is instrumental in developing and retaining high potential central office leaders across their organizations. The one-year cohort model equips leaders across multiple levels with the skills to be more innovative, resilient, and effective at leading others.
“The gifts from United Way of Metropolitan of Dallas and The Sid Richardson Foundation allows PIC to continue to strengthen our support for the amazing principals and district leaders we serve in North Texas," said PIC Executive Director Dr. Amanda Dudley. "We have the true privilege of working alongside such resilient and values-driven leaders. We are grateful for their leadership as they lead in our school communities each and every day. Thank you to United Way of Metropolitan of Dallas and The Sid Richardson Foundation for also investing in these great leaders.”
