Leadership & Transformation
Leading Schools into the Future
TASA offers authentic, hands-on learning experiences that are designed by superintendents, professional learning for district and campus leaders who want to develop as transformational leaders, and opportunities for networking and collaboration that will help you take your campus or district to the next level. Through our partnership with N2 Learning, we offer leadership development for assistant principals, principals, and central office administrators.
Small Schools Network
Small Texas school districts share their own special set of challenges. TASA’s Small Schools Network provides further support — through customized professional development and networking events held in small districts across Texas — to districts with fewer than 1,300 students.
School Transformation Network (STN)
TASA’s School Transformation Network (STN) complements our other school transformation-focused networks, FRSLN and TPAC, which focus on accountability and instruction, by focusing on “transforming the basics” — finance, staffing, board relations, and more — the systems that support instruction.
Breakaway Leadership
Breakaway Leadership is a leadership development program designed for superintendents who want to learn skills and habits to set them apart from other leaders. By focusing on developing and improving all aspects of their well-being – mental, social-emotional, physical – participants will come to the leadership table with a level of fitness that enables them to lead from a position of strength and clarity – all day every day.
Executive Coaching Network
The TASA Executive Coaching Network strategically pairs clients (practicing superintendents like you) with experienced executive coaches (most are current or former school superintendents) who are trained to guide you through a thought-provoking and creative coaching process to identify strategic goals, develop actionable plans, enhance your leadership practices, and unlock your full potential.
Future-Ready Superintendents Leadership Network (FRSLN)
FRSLN is a superintendent-designed and superintendent-led group of future-focused school leaders who, with TASA support, gather for events that provide authentic learning experiences that help them expand their leadership beyond the local level and advance the principles of the school transformation.
Texas Public Accountability Consortium (TPAC)
The Texas Public Accountability Consortium (TPAC) is a district-led network of school leaders working to build on the success of community-based accountability systems already in use in districts across the state by developing next-generation measures and assessments that would enable wider use of such systems.
TASA Partnership with N2 Learning
TASA partners with N2 Learning on several professional development offerings that further our mission of developing school leaders who create and sustain student-centered schools and develop future-ready students. These partnerships are one way we are working to provide learning opportunities that align with the various career pathways of TASA members and other school leaders.
Assistant Principal Leadership Academy
The Assistant Principal Leadership Academy not only prepares assistant principals to take on the role of principal, but also helps them to grow as transformational leaders.
New 2 Principalship
New for 2024-25 … a collaborative coaching series through which small groups of new principals, accompanied by experienced coaches, have the opportunity to meet online monthly to address common issues faced by new principals.
The Principals’ Institute
PI allows principals to understand why transformation of public education is necessary, and develop the knowledge and skills required to lead and build the capacity to sustain transformation over time.
Executive Leadership Institute
TASA partners with N2 Learning to offer the Executive Leadership Institute, which is designed to build the capacity of district executive leaders for system-wide improvements in teaching and learning.
