I would encourage you to review and to pass along to select APs that you think it would be a good fit for. Space is VERY limited. Please follow up with me or Laura Dukess if you have any questions. FHI 360 is pleased to be able to offer a fourth and final cohort in the Leadership Fellows Program — a year-long, rigorous program to help prepare experienced New York City middle grades assistant principals for the principalship. The Fellows Program, which is fully funded by a US DOE School Leadership Grant, supports assistant principals to prepare for the principalship in a cohort-based program of professional learning with a dual focus on leadership and the specific knowledge and skills required to successfully lead a middle grades school. The curriculum is aligned with both the NYC School Leader Competencies and with MSQI. Therefore, we are eager for you to share the invitation to learn about and apply to the program with school leaders in the MSQI Networks. I am attaching a flyer that provides some basic information about the program, as well as a copy of the program application for an aspiring principals that may be interested. You will note on the flyer that we are also holding two informational sessions next week — Monday, in the Bronx, and Wednesday, in Manhattan. MSQI assistant principals are most welcome to attend either session. In addition, anyone who is interested in learning more about the Fellows Program should feel free to contact either of the program facilitators as indicated on the flyer. If you have any questions, or desire any additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact me. We look forward to welcoming assistant principals from the MSQI networks to the Leadership Fellows program.

In this position, his primary responsibility will be to support you and your schools in your efforts to improve teaching, learning and students’ healthy development. As senior director of FHI 360’s school development and support team, he’ll also have the opportunity to apply the learning of other FHI 360 programs to the PSO. Michael brings strong experience to our network. He worked in urban schools in the San Francisco and Albany areas, where he was a middle school teacher, founded an alternative middle-high school for disengaged students, and was an elementary and middle school principal. Most recently he has been lead talent coach with the NYC DOE, overseeing a team of coaches and leading the implementation of the Department’s pilot teacher evaluation and teacher development program in 75 schools. He’s also taught in Mexico and served in the Peace Corps in Poland. He has a masters degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and is completing a doctorate in urban education at Teachers College, where the focus of his study is implementation of Common Core standards. I want to thank all of you for assisting us in this transition—for recommending candidates and participating in review and interviewing. Special thanks to Robert Mercedes, Dolores Peterson, Linda Rosenbury, Brian Kaplan, the FHI 360 Middle Start team, and to others who offered help. Kudos and thanks to Judi Aronson who assumed the role of interim network leader for these past two months, and who ensured that support for your schools would remain constant. We’re also grateful to Gail Gaines, Risa Sackman, Sara Panag, Oni Hutchinson, Viviene Verstandig, Christine Newkirk, Aurelia Enache, Maud Abeel, and the CFN team, who helped us all stay on course. In the next two weeks, Michael will be reaching out to all of you and will be visiting with you soon. Please welcome him to your schools, our network and the CFN. Best wishes to your and your colleagues and students for a peaceful holiday and a cheerful start to the new year.
