• New Teacher Leadership Academy Launched for Alabama; Pilot Programs Begins with Tuscaloosa County SchoolsOctober 13, 2013

  TUSCALOOSA — Having launched the award-winning Parent Leadership Academy (PLA) in 2007, The University of Alabama Division of Community Affairs has decided to build upon that success by creating a new program similar in nature but which incorporates another component of the school community – teachers.

  Dr. Joyce Stallworth, associate provost and professor of education at UA, said the new Teacher Leadership Academy (TLA), offspring of the Parent Leadership Academy, came about after conversations with local principals and teachers, past PLA participants, Vice President for Community Affairs Dr. Samory Pruitt, and Center for Community-Based Partnership Community Education Director Dr. Heather Pleasants.

• Looking Back and to the Future of the Parent Leadership Academy in West AlabamaAugust 16, 2013

  By Dr. Heather Pleasants
  Director, CCBP Office of Community Education

  (The following profile looks at the Parent Leadership Academy (PLA), one of this campus’ leading engaged scholarship projects.)

  It has been my privilege to direct the PLA almost since its founding in 2007, but I will be the first to say that the program’s continual success would not have been possible without the teamwork developed through a strong partnership between the parents, Tuscaloosa City and County public schools, and the University.
