It's given me a great overview of school leadership from a variety of perspectives. As someone considering pursuing educational leadership, PLAA played a pivotal role in my decision to embark on the journey to obtain my Masters in Educational Leadership. Furthermore, PLAA provided me valuable insight into many of the critical issues surrounding education and how effective school leaders can approach many of these issues. I highly recommend the program to new or aspiring leaders!” – 2024 PLAA Graduate

I believe that are gaps that exist in education and this program has developed a curriculum is well balanced are addresses many of those gaps that are present, especially in Arizona. The single most useful PD I have ever gone through as a future administrator. This should be a mandatory class for all building administrators.” – 2024 PLAA Graduate
