Pike County Schools hosted its inaugural Teacher Leadership Academy (TLA) participants in the Fall of 2023. TLA is an academy designed to inspire and empower teachers who are aspiring school leaders. The program assists teachers in developing and strengthening effective leadership practices while exploring the daily operations of our school system. It affords select teachers the opportunity to develop and experience leadership skills and practices outside of the classroom. The TLA provides on-site, interactive, systematic, and engaging experiences to participants who are teacher leaders.
