LEADERSHIP COACHING
CEC offers two formats for coaching school administrators.
1. Structured, in-depth coaching for two years for new principals and for one year for early-career administrators (second-year principals, directors, early career coordinators, central office personnel).
This coaching model meets state requirements for new principals and includes a minimum of fifty hours of face-to-face contact and electronic and phone contact. Professional development sessions are included.
To learn more about this option, go to Programs.
To request a Mentor for your new principal, go to Request for a Mentor for a First-Year Principal in Illinois.
To request a Mentor for your early-career administrator (second-year principal, director, early career coordinator, central office personnel), go to Request for a Mentor for an Early-Career Administrator.
2. Leadership coaching for more experienced administrators who wish to enhance their leadership performance.
In this format, coaches work with experienced administrators in a special arrangement created by the district, the administrator, and the coach. Emphasis is placed on goal-setting, formative assessment, structured work sessions, and in-depth review of leadership performance.
To request a Mentor for an experienced administrator, go to Request for a Mentor for an Experienced Administrator.

Great Lakes Compact for Comprehensive Union Leadership Development Training Series
The Consortium for Educational Change has developed a series of training sessions that focuses on the development of union leaders who are equipped to address the changing needs of their members.
The work of progressive union leaders continues to address the basic working conditions of its members. In addition, education unions increasingly find that they must also advocate for conditions that support high quality teaching and learning. Union leaders have increasingly begun to organize efforts to insure equity in the education for all students.These efforts are known as The Three Frames of Unionism.
For more information, you may want to look at the Overview and FAQs as these will provide you with the history of this union leadership training, outcomes, expectations, who should be included in this training, and much more. We also have other areas of information under Resources.
