Calling all DLTL Alumni

Dual Language Teacher Leadership Alumni:

If you are interested in obtaining your principal endorsement, you can rejoin RU and take 4 classes (2 in the summer of 2025, and then an internship that spans the 2025-2026 school year) and receive entitlement for your endorsement in May 2026. Even if you don’t see yourself being a principal, it is certainly relevant for those interested in becoming coaches, bilingual coordinators, and curriculum leaders.

We will be holding information sessions for our MA in Instruction Leadership and Dual Language Principal Leadership (DLPL) endorsement programs on Friday, February 21st & Friday, March 7th , from 4:30 – 5:30 pm  (it will be recorded as well).  Additionally, please join us or invite colleagues/friends to attend if they are interested in learning more about our MA in Instructional Leadership program with principal endorsement.

The information sessions will provide details about the application timeline, admissions requirements, grant funding for scholarships and answer any questions you may have. We hope to see you there!  The Zoom information registration links are listed below.
