SAM Leaders Professional Learning Program 2024-25
is now Open! 

The SAM Leaders Professional Learning Program (LPLP) provides a unique and innovative approach to professional learning for Montana school leaders designed to be responsive to the challenges administrators face each day. 

One of the goals at SAM is to ensure that each school administrator has the support necessary to achieve every success possible, both in their role as an administrator and individually.   A highlight of the program is the opportunity to receive one-on-one coaching and mentoring from a provider - an experienced Montana administrator. This personalized support and guidance will help administrators tackle the unique issues they face in their role as education leaders. SAM LPLP providers meet both face-to-face and virtually with LPLP members proving to be dedicated experts, helping administrators navigate complex situations and providing valuable insights.  SAM LPLP aims to be a valuable resource to save time and not require additional time or tasks. With a provider by their side, administrators will have a trusted individual to turn to whenever they have questions or need guidance.

SAM LPLP is an exclusive opportunity available to SAM members to participate in the 2024-25 program year for just $750. This cost-effective investment grants administrators access to a wealth of enriching experiences, resources, and personalized support.

The objective of  SAM LPLP is to provide just-in-time, personalized professional learning to Montana educators through research-based strategies resulting in improvements in job satisfaction, administrator longevity, and ultimately to increased student achievement and quality of instruction which will positively impact the education of students across Montana.  

Thank you for considering this opportunity to partner with SAM as you invest in your own professional learning as an education leader.
