Educator Voice Sessions: Three intimate occasions throughout the year – twice in the winter, once in the spring – where school leaders have the opportunity to participate in a candid conversation with the superintendent regarding strengths and areas for continued growth in the district.

Recognition: Each year the district acknowledges our most effective educators (teachers and leaders) who make a significant difference in the lives and achievement outcomes of their students, students’ families, and colleagues. The district does this work through awarding Teacher and Leader of the Year prizes, which are each accompanied by a cash purse, placard and automatic eligibility for one of the district’s pathway programs.

Innovation: In partnership with the SLPS Foundation, the district awards grants ranging from $500 - $5,000 to support school-based initiatives that promise and/or have proved to catapult student achievement. Each initiative must align to at least two ESTT performance metrics. To view innovation grant guidelines in detail, please click here.
