First year administrators will be contacted by the professional learning department at the start of the 09-10 school year and given additional information. This will not constitute an academy; beginning administrators will be supported through mentors, quarterly meetings and online resources.

The Academy previously known as:

Leadership Academy I for prospective administrators

This Academy has been suspended for 09-10. The Georgia Professional Standards Commission has restructured the route to leadership certification in our state. PSC Rule 505-2-.300 has initiated significant changes in certification for educational leaders. The Cobb County School District will utilize the 09-10 school year to develop a program aligned to the new rule and to continue to provide the highest, quality-driven training for our teachers aspiring to leadership roles.
