Leaders today operate in a fast-paced, complex, and demanding environment. They are responsible for leading their schools while effectively managing all operations. Administrators must navigate day-to-day tasks, motivate teachers and staff, drive results, and adapt to ever-changing demands while showcasing their competitive edge.

The BPAA Leadership Academy is designed to equip administrators with the necessary tools and support to become high-performing leaders. Through comprehensive training and coaching, our academy will empower administrators to excel in their roles, effectively manage their schools, and foster positive and impactful leadership. Additionally, we offer guidance and support for career development, ensuring that leaders receive the necessary assistance to navigate their career paths in the desired direction.

Our goal is to build and sustain a strong and positive leadership community within BPAA and the SBBC (School Board of Broward County). By investing in the development of our leaders, we strive to create a supportive network and cultivate leaders who can drive success and make a lasting impact within their schools and the broader education community.
