New Principal (Peer & Lead) Mentor

Mentor Principals help guide their mentee principal throughout the school year to accelerate the transition into the role of principal to ensure a positive impact on student achievement.

Mentoring provides an extraordinary opportunity for successful, experienced principals to gain advanced leadership skills as they develop the skills and abilities of first-year principals.

Mentors differentiate support to new principals based on many factors, including input from the Mentee’s Network leadership. Mentorship should align as much as possible to the CPS School Leadership Framework especially the Focus Components and self-identified areas of growth and development.
