The purpose of the NELA Principal Residency is to provide a realistic, action-oriented learning experience for each NELA Fellow with expert Principal Mentors. To increase the depth and breadth of the experiences, each Fellow is assigned to a different school for each semester.
The Principal Residency prepares NELA Fellows to develop strong interpersonal relationships, discern student learning and effective teaching, model reflective practice, and master leadership skills and dispositions that support school improvement efforts. The Principal Residency is purposefully designed to immerse the Fellows in learning opportunities and activities to help them gain proficiency in the North Carolina School Executive Standards and Competencies.
Throughout their Principal Residency, Fellows receive wrap-around support from an Executive Coach, Principal Mentor, and the NELA Project Team, which includes many NC State faculty members.
