Frequently Asked Questions |
Question- Is attending this conference required if I want to pursue a school-based administrative position?
Answer- No, the conference is not required. However, attending the conference gives you an advantage on understanding the competitiveness of PLT-sponsored programs. It also gives you a great opportunity to network and meet current and aspiring administrators in FCPS, and provides great panel discussions for you to dialogue with current administrators about their practice. |
