Pennsylvania school administrators are invited to take advantage of an excellent leadership opportunity that will help eliminate the achievement gap within their school and district. The Early Childhood Executive Leadership Institute (ECELI), a PA Inspired Leadership course, bring together K-3 and early education leaders in a cooperative, professional learning community.

Through this training, K-3 administrators have the opportunity to acquire deeper knowledge and greater leadership skills to successfully identify and navigate the challenges and opportunities in creating Prenatal to Grade 3 (P3) alignment. Promoting access to high quality K-3 classrooms for children at risk for school failure due to poverty, disability, dual language learning and other high risk factors is a focus of all school administrators in eliminating the achievement gap and is addressed in a P3 approach.

The Early Childhood Executive Leadership Institutes are ideal for those leaders who want to take a deeper dive into collaborative learning and relationship building around early learning and P3 alignment. Participation in the ECELI encourages a partnership between the school-based and early care and learning systems which children and families navigate. It also builds relationships to create coordinated, aligned, and coherent learning experiences for students and their families.
