Each Principal in Residence & Assistant Principal in Residence will prepare a portfolio providing evidence of satisfactory completion of identified leadership competencies. A template for the portfolio is provided in Appendix E.
Portfolio Documentation
A wide range of artifacts could be considered for inclusion in the portfolio as evidence of competency in required leadership skills. A rubric to be used for review of the portfolio is provided in Appendix F.
Examples of artifacts that may serve as documentation or tangible evidence to be included in a participant’s portfolio include (but are not limited to):
- copies of school budgets
- master schedules
- data packets and action plans
- instructional focus calendars, or similar work product
- meeting minutes
- presentations or speeches

Project Lead Strong participants must complete all of the designated field experiences. In addition to the required experiences, participants and their Mentor should identify and plan for any additional experiences that will be necessary for the participant to address areas of need identified in the self-assessment inventory. Participants and their mentors should review the school calendar of activities as early as possible in the program year so that participants can plan to take advantage of naturally occurring opportunities to access relevant field experiences as much as possible.
