The Leadership Center at Bank Street College of Education was established to provide today's practicing and aspiring principals, as well as other front-line administrators, teachers and school personnel, with the kind of ongoing professional support and development they need to become the successful school leaders of tomorrow. The Leadership Center Programs include the Principals Institute, The Teacher Leader program, The Bilingual/ESL Teacher Leadership Academy (BETLA), as well as other professional development programs. Particular emphasis is placed on increasing the number of women and minorities in positions of leadership in the New York City Public School System. The Principals InstituteThe Principals Institute (PI) combines the theoretical with the practical development of leadership skills within a standards based framework that provides structure, support and ongoing opportunities for professional growth. The Program offers an 18 month, 36 credit master's degree in Supervision and Administration to eligible New York City public school teachers, resulting in state certification for School Building Leader (SBL). Bank Street offers a partial scholarship. The PI is structured around cohorts with a series of meaningful leadership experiences culminating in a 15 week full time experience or its equivalent. Each intern works with a trained Bank Street advisor, who helps process the internship experience in weekly conference groups.
