Washington State Leadership Academy

The Washington State Leadership Academy (WSLA) is a district-based professional development program administered in partnership between the Association of Washington School Principals and the Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA). The mission of the Academy is to develop and support school leaders to create educational systems where powerful instruction helps all students succeed.

Unlike most professional development opportunities, WSLA is not designed for individuals. Rather, the unique two-year program invites district teams of administrators to participate; districts are selected for participation by their Educational Service District (ESD). Each team is assigned a coach, who provides guidance and feedback throughout the duration of the two-year process.   

Even though the WSLA experience is not individual-based, resources such as bibliographies and videos are available to non-participants. To access these resources, or for more information about WSLA, please visit the Academy's Web site at waleadershipacademy.org.
