peer information sharing, touring other schools, and giving more personal time off. There is also a focus on providing one-on-one coaching in the first two years of leadership, as well as creating a specific succession plan at each school that is revised annually. “We’re incredibly grateful for the CFP Foundation supporting the creation of the Principal Collaborative in New Orleans,” said Alex Jarrell, chief innovation officer at New Schools for New Orleans. “Our principals now have the opportunity to showcase their work and learn from each other.” This past January, New Orleans principals came together to share best practices around teacher retention. The Collaborative highlighted principals who have succeeded in retaining their great teachers. “The entire principal community walked away with concrete strategies and resources that they could bring back to their schools and teachers,” said Jarrell. The continued investment is an extension of the host city effort that continues years after the CFP National Championship has come and gone. “We’re committed to making a difference for teachers in the host city community, not only during the year of their respective game, but well after it has been played,” said CFP Foundation Executive Director Britton Banowsky. “We’re proud to stand with the Allstate Sugar Bowl and support NOLA Public Schools’ efforts for their school leaders. We’d like to thank all of them for their leadership during this challenging pandemic.”
