• The Office of Human Resources offers an opportunity to reimagine what is possible for FCPS employees interested in pursing a leadership role in our district. Using federal American Rescue Plan funds for workforce development, we offer the Aspiring Leaders Program for a limited number of participants.  

  • This program:

    • Increases the capacity of teachers and leaders through development of leadership skills
    • Requires a professional commitment for active participation in all cohort activities
    • Develops a “Grow Your Own” workforce with job-embedded support from the district
    • Encourages networking among FCPS employees with varying expertise
    • Diversifies our workforce to reflect the students we serve
    • Provides additional strategies for FCPS teachers and leaders to implement immediately  

  • Three Cohorts:

    • Instructional Leadership
    • Student Support Leadership
    • Operational Leadership

    These divisions enable us to individualize the program for participants and build capacity through specialized areas, to allow intentional networking among current district leaders and potential candidates, and to make “Grow Your Own” a collaborative effort with district departments.
