New Leaders' Principal Institute


Since 2016, Suzana Ustabecir has been serving as instructional effectiveness specialist for Chicago Public Schools. Suzana Ustabecir received her master's degree in educational leadership from National Louis University and underwent the principal residency program under New Leaders for New Schools.

Since launching its Aspiring Principals program in 2001, New Leaders has helped train over 2,000 education leaders, consequently influencing nearly half a million students in over 20 cities across the country. At the core of the organization's programs is the Principal Institute. 

The Principal Institute aims to address the apparent lack of access to high-quality training for principals, providing targeted, job-connected support to those who are currently serving as principals or assistant principals.

What makes training at Principal Institute unique is its research-tested curriculum that offers training, practice, and feedback. As a result, trainees are subjected to real-world practice in order to learn relevant solutions to particular challenges in their own work areas. Moreover, trainees are equipped with useful skills imparted to them by expert coaches – former principals who provide necessary feedback throughout the training.
