NGLA Admissions Application

The Next Generation Leadership Academy (NGLA) is a non-traditional educational leadership program that provides high quality professional development with the singular focus of improving student achievement. The program takes the best practice in leadership theory and complements it with best practice in educational leadership to meet the needs of local school divisions. Candidates selected to participate in the NGLA are expected to demonstrate the following professional dispositions:

• Belief that every child can learn;
• Commitment to reflect on experiences to grow and develop;
• Possession of written and verbal skills to communicate with clarity, conciseness, and appropriateness
  to multiple audiences;
• Strong interpersonal skills, such as valuing perspective and treating people with respect;
• Ability to identify quality teaching and enable students to attain results despite significant
  challenges;
• Ability to work proactively to solve problems and reach effective solutions.

The Center for Leadership in Education will distribute the NGLA application online and through the office of the superintendent of schools or his/her designee. School divisions will have oversight of the selection of participants for the NGLA. The NGLA application must be completed by each participant and submitted to the Center at the conclusion of the division’s selection process. In addition, the Center strongly recommends that the school division interview each candidate. Interviews should be conducted in Summer 2006. Candidates will be notified of admission decisions by the Center for Leadership in Education in conjunction with the school division in August 2006.
