CLS better equips WELS teachers for their important work

Lutheran Schools is seeking to address the need for principals and early childhood directors. In 2016, 15 men and women completed a one-year Leadership Candidate Training cohort, which identifies teachers with leadership characteristics and begins to train them for a school leadership role. Three men from the cohort have already transitioned to principal positions in WELS schools. The Principal Training Program and Principal and Director Apprentice Mentoring are two other programs led by Lutheran Schools that focus on the training of new school leaders.
