PIL HOURS TO BE AWARDED: 30
DESCRIPTION:
This program seeks to advance the knowledge and skill necessary for career and technical
administrators to advocate for their students in the “larger political, social, economic, legal, and
cultural context” (PA Inspired Leadership Standards). Participants will leverage human and fiscal
resources available in the external communities to increase the efficiency of their school operations,
add to the equipment available for students to learn technical skills, and provide opportunities for
students to learn and demonstrate leadership skills. To accomplish this, the program will be
composed of six online hours of instruction and pre-recorded interviews with career and technical
administrators who have been successful with civic and legislative leaders, as well as joint operating
committees, sending school district superintendents, and school boards. There are three sections:
(1) Using student achievement data in public relations documents; (2) Presenting to an external
community organization; and (3) Meeting with a local, state, or federal legislative member and
lobbying in support of career and technical education.
Participants will complete the PIL with a culminating project that seeks to leverage available financial
and legislative resources to improve and advance career and technical education in their specific
school setting.
Administrators will gain skill and evidence for components of the Framework for Leadership in
Domains 1a, 1b, 1c, 1e, 2a, 2e, 2f, and 4a
