The Mission
The Cohort of Leadership Associates (CoLA) program assists ESC-20 school districts in selecting and developing quality school leaders, aligned with the diverse needs of each school district.
The Program
The Cohort of Leadership Associates (CoLA) is a 18-month, field-based, performance-oriented program designed to prepare Associates to become effective school administrators. While completing the approved curriculum, Leadership Associates also complete the required internship/practicum under the supervision of a trained mentor as well as a field supervisor. The ESC-20 CoLA Principal certification program offers an alternative route to the traditional university certification program.
