The Leadership Redesign was initiated by the Wallace Foundation grantees, LEAD and SAELP, in 2004. The grantees engaged the Commonwealth Collaborative of School Leadership Programs (CCSLP) in a year long process to identify ways to improve principal preparation. This work is ongoing and redesigned principal certifications programs are being developed by the Kentucky Leadership Continuum Group. This effort is based on the belief that redesigning principal preparation programs and professional growth of sitting principals to prepare them for school leadership in the 21st Century could better prepare leaders to meet the challenge of bringing all children to academic proficiency and eliminating achievement gaps.
