About Us

Mission

The mission of the WTPC is to assist new principal candidates as well as current principals in acquiring new skills, proficiencies and the certifications needed to serve high need school districts in the Permian Basin.

Program Overview

The WTPC is set up to serve two groups of professional educators: education leadership students who are seeking certification to become a campus principal, and current principals and assistant principals of the Permian Basin.

Aspiring Principals

These participants are receiving an enhanced educational leadership program from UTPB.
The key components include:

  • Assistance with the cost of tuition, fees and books.

  • A variety of initial assessments to assist in tailoring an Individual Training Plan (ITP) for each student.

  • Ongoing assessments to monitor the growth and development of each participant on an individual basis.

  • Access to special seminars, conferences and professional growth activities that will enhance the traditional program coursework.

  • Mentoring from a Principal Coach, selected from the home district.

  • Access to additional resources from the staff of the WTPC.

Current Principals

The WTPC is also set up to serve the ongoing professional development needs of current campus leaders in the Permian Basin. These campus principals and assistant principals will have access to a wide variety of seminars, conferences and professional growth activites that will be provided throughout the year. All assessments and training offered by the WTPC are aligned with the Texas Principal Competencies and the NCATE Educational Leadership Council Constituents' Principal Standards.
