How to Apply for VSLP
The Vermont School Leadership Project is Vermont’s only leadership development opportunity that deeply examines “whole systems” thinking and change management in public schools. The Project’s target audience includes, but is not exclusive to, superintendents, principals, curriculum and special education directors, as well as other education professionals who have proven leadership abilities and seriously aspire to leadership roles.
The program is rigorous and demands a significant time commitment, plus a deep commitment to personal growth and development, and to making a difference in education in Vermont. The Snelling Center is seeking candidates with a strong sense of integrity and ethics, a disposition towards transparent and collaborative leadership, and the ability to build consensus and political support.
The application process includes
- Completion of the application by March 20, 2009.
- Submission of two letters of recommendation (details can be found in the application)
- Remittance of a nonrefundable $25 application fee.
- Submission of a black and white head shot to jen@snellingcenter.org
- Participation in an interview or informational meeting
The VSLP Class of 2010 will begin its training in July of 2009. Most day sessions take place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Each session requires some advance preparation. We ask associates to apply their learning to a personal leadership plan and a transformation initiative at their worksite.
