The Performance Partners Program is designed to support high-potential Philadelphia principals (“Performance Partners”) to achieve their most significant school goals and deepen the skills necessary to drive growth in student outcomes. With a specific focus on bolstering instructional leadership skills, each Performance Partner is paired with a high-performing principal – an alum of the Neubauer Fellowship in Educational Leadership (“Senior Fellow”) – who shares expertise, encouragement, and skills utilizing a coaching approach. Philadelphia Academy of School Leaders is proud to partner with Skyrocket Educator Training to develop and facilitate program content and training sessions.
Performance Partners are invited to participate following a three part selection process (application, supervisor recommendation, and interview). Senior Fellows are invited to be coaches based on demonstration of exceptional school leadership and interest in building their capacity to mentor and develop other leaders.

“I am always looking for ways to push myself out of my comfort zone and this program did it for me. I built a stronger grasp of coaching strategies, language to use, and techniques that will end up with results in better teaching, resulting in greater student outcomes!”

“Participating in the Performance Partners Program pushed my practice as a new principal by exposing me to new ways of approaching coaching, analyzing data, and setting goals. My coach was super knowledgeable and provided pointed feedback that I first practiced with her and then immediately implemented at my school. Every minute of this program was time well spent.”
