ASU Prep Phoenix High School is thrilled to announce the launch of our Transformational Teacher Leader (TTL) program—a groundbreaking initiative designed to empower educators to excel both inside and outside the classroom.
This unique role allows teachers to maintain their passion for teaching while stepping into leadership positions, creating a dynamic environment of growth and innovation.
What is a Transformational Teacher Leader?
Transformational Teacher Leaders at ASU Prep personify the school’s mission and values, serving as educational innovators who lead by example. They make data-driven decisions, implement innovative techniques, and promote collaboration within the school. As both teachers and leaders, TTLs inspire peers and drive educational progress.
In this hybrid role, TTLs have the opportunity to remain actively engaged in the classroom while also taking on responsibilities that allow them to influence instructional practices on their campuses. This means that our most dedicated teachers, who thrive on classroom interaction but seek greater responsibility, can have the best of both worlds.
