Expert Teacher Tracks
ASU Prep is investing in teachers by offering five professional development tracks where they can develop expertise in a student-centered topic. Teachers engage in a year-long course and implement strategies they have learned directly into their classroom. Upon passing the course, they will earn a two-year, renewable stipend of $1,500 and be recognized as an expert in that area, opening up their classroom to visitors and also assisting site leaders and their colleagues with continued professional learning.
Transformational Teacher Leaders
ASU Prep Transformational Teacher Leaders (TTL) embody the ASU Prep mission and core values, lead by example, make data and research-based decisions, implement innovative techniques, take risks, and foster collaboration throughout the entire school community.
In this teacher leadership role, TTLs will be both teachers and leaders, allowing us to keep our best teachers in the classroom but giving them opportunities to rise as instructional leaders on their campuses. Teachers who love teaching but are seeking more responsibility can have the best of both worlds in this advancement track.
Prep Leadership Academy
Prep Leadership Academy, or PLA for short, is a two-year leadership development program designed for individuals who are committee to ASU Prep, have at least one year of service to the organization, and who have the desire to be prepared for promotions in the future. Participants engage in book studies, a speaker series and individualized career mapping and mentoring.
Being part of Prep Leadership Academy (PLA) was an incredible experience that expanded my leadership skills and deepened my commitment to ASU Prep. The mentoring was invaluable and prepared me for future opportunities.
