HISD-ACP
PACE has created a new pathway that will allow the district to recruit, train,
certify, and retain high-quality instructional leaders. HISD-ACP PACE is a two
year alternative certification program with an internship in the second year.
The program operates in partnership with the University of St. Thomas. The
program will provide a comprehensive, on-going, high-quality leadership training
that prepares its interns to obtain Texas Standard Principal Certification and
to become effective school leaders.
A
quasi-experimental design will be used to quantify data. The grant evaluator,
Don McLendon & Associates, will use both qualitative and quantitative
measures to track progress. Qualitative measures include: interviews, portfolio
case studies/action research, reflection pieces, and observations. Research will
focus at first on program effectiveness, and as more data is collected, on the
correlations between recruitment, support, and retention
measures.
