Leadership Preparation Performance Coaching (LPPC)
We are experts in Performance Coaching
Since GLISI began the Leadership Preparation Performance Coaching (LPPC) program in 2005, we’ve trained over 600 performance coaches who are working with incumbent and aspiring school leaders all over Georgia. Our LPPC process is a national model for performance-based training and coaching, and provides a solution to leader performance and supply challenges faced by schools and school districts. The LPPC training is itself performance-based, ensuring that each candidate demonstrates mastery of coaching skills prior to actual use in a school district. PSC rules take require universities to provide a trained coach to each leadership candidate, so now is the time – more than ever – to take advantage of this proven approach to developing coaches equipped to support a district’s improvement efforts.GLISI’s Performance Coaching will provide you with:
- A fully trained cadre of leadership performance coaches with a full set of resources and tools to assist in developing current and future leaders
- A systemic, aligned process for developing leaders at all levels of a district
- A strategy for reducing the time to competency for aspiring and developing leaders
- An opportunity to analyze the existing leadership structures that are barriers to school and district improvement
- An opportunity for partners (districts, RESA and universities) to collaborate on the most cost-effective way to train and use a valuable human resource

Application Process
The application for Performance Coach Training is now a
two-step process. This process allows the GLISI staff time to appropriately
plan for training sessions, manage resources, and order
materials. If you have any questions, contact Program Manager
Georgia.Wilson@glisi.org
or Program Coordinator
Tina.Wolfe@glisi.org
Step 1 - Submit Training Request:
District Superintendent or RESA Director must request
training for their district or area by contacting their
GLISI assigned Performance Consultant or
Georgia.Wilson@glisi.org. Upon approval of the
request, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be emailed
to the Superintendent or RESA Director for his/her
signature. The signed MOU should then be mailed to
Tina Wolfe at the GLISI office.
Step 2 - Nominate Coach Trainees:
The Superintendent or RESA Director must select and endorse
candidates for training first, by ensuring that the candidate meets
selection criteria (contact GLISI for suggested criteria), then
by
requesting a Nomination Packet from
Tina.Wolfe@glisi.org.
Both the candidate and the Superintendent or RESA
Director must complete sections of the Packet, and then
submit it to
Tina.Wolfe@glisi.org.
Cost and Time Commitment
Take advantage of the grant-supplemented price of $488 per
candidate in 2009-2010 which includes printed materials,
24/7 access to the Success Center (an online repository of resources), and the
assistance of a skilled Performance Facilitator throughout
the training.
The training is delivered in two sessions over 4 ½ days. Sessions are usually “drive-in, drive-out” at a
location selected by the district or RESA. Because training
is performance-based, LPPC candidates must demonstrate
competency against clear criteria identified in the task
assessments – so, there are in-class assignments, over-night
assignments, and take-home assignments between sessions,
which together provide ample opportunities to master the
work of a performance coach.
Program History
In 2005, GLISI received a $140,000 grant from the Wachovia
Teachers and Teaching Initiative to support planning,
research, and development of an effective
coaching program for teachers in preparation for leadership
roles. A broad-based
Design Team,
representing universities, RESA leaders, district leaders,
and the business community worked with GLISI to study
coaching programs and developed a
Review of the Literature
and a codified list of
Coaching Best Practices.
Building on the initial work of the design team, GLISI
continued its own research and development, which resulted
in the launch of the LPPC model. Based on the results of the
Initial Year proposal, Wachovia awarded GLISI a three-year
grant of $600,000 (see
Years 1-3 Wachovia Proposal)
to create
Program Standards
and to design, develop, and implement a training program,
including performance tools, job aids, and a Success Center.
GLISI has partnered with Georgia universities and school districts to develop a performance-based alternative leadership preparation program (Rising Stars) that allows participants to practice leadership tasks and skills with coaching and feedback. A Rising Stars Collaborative consists of a group of districts within a geographic area with similar needs working with colleges and RESAs to provide opportunities to aspiring leaders to practice leadership tasks with coaching, feedback, and support. Rising Stars coaches are trained in the LPPC process.
