Navigating the Principalship is an awareness workshop for individuals interested in learning more about the principalship. The primary purpose of this seminar is to assist in the identification and encouragement of talented individuals to enter the principalship and to provide aspiring principals with an awareness of the comprehensive dimensions and unique characteristics of the principalship. Seminar participants explore the peaks and valleys of day-to-day life as a principal, examine and affirm their own professional talents and interests, and develop a vision and create a map for their professional career planning. Small group interaction also provides an opportunity to explore actual principalship situations and problems and to review methods for handling those that are difficult. The seminar provides a chance for significant participant involvement under the direction of dynamic facilitators.
