The Oregon Association of Latino Administrators (OALA) is proud to announce the opening of the application process for Cohort 10 of the Aspiring Administrator Leadership Program. The application opens on February 4, 2024 and will be due March 29, 2024.
The leadership program is the first of its kind in Oregon, 89% of our proteges are in an education leadership role. With our partners, Coalition of Oregon School Administrators and Curriculum Associates we focus on preparing the next generation of Latino/a administrators with the skills necessary to be an effective leader.
Protégés are selected for the program based on their leadership potential and their commitment to raising the level of student achievement for the districts they serve. The process includes an application, resume, letter of support from the superintendent, and an interview.
The year-long program covers: leadership development, best practices for equity and systemic reform, social justice and leadership, strategic planning, and administration preparation.
Protégés will require the following from their district leadership: letter of support from the superintendent that recognizes leadership potential, fee (up to $2,500 depending on size of district) participation in the program, and sub coverage (up to 8 days) paid by the district for protege to participate in sessions.
