HISD-ACP PACE has created a new pathway that will allow the district to recruit, train, certify, and retain high-quality instructional leaders. HISD-ACP PACE is a two year alternative certification program with an internship in the second year. The program operates in partnership with the University of St. Thomas. The program will provide a comprehensive, on-going, high-quality leadership training that prepares its interns to obtain Texas Standard Principal Certification and to become effective school leaders.

A quasi-experimental design will be used to quantify data. The grant evaluator, Don McLendon & Associates, will use both qualitative and quantitative measures to track progress. Qualitative measures include: interviews, portfolio case studies/action research, reflection pieces, and observations. Research will focus at first on program effectiveness, and as more data is collected, on the correlations between recruitment, support, and retention measures.
