We know effective leadership.
Our award-winning Transformational Leadership Framework™ pinpoints the most effective leadership practices to improve student achievement at the system, the school, and the team level.
Through our professional learning model, school and district leaders engage in:
Leaders engage with others across their system in job-alike cohorts as they work together to establish a common language and the systems and structures required to create and implement a vision of instructional excellence and equity at scale.
Our coaching is customized to meet the needs of each leader. We use a cycle of inquiry to spur deep thinking and build the capacity of school and system leaders to reflect, analyze, and problem-solve independently.
Competency-based online modules provide participants with a range of personalized learning opportunities to explore and advance their own leadership.
Community of practice sessions provide leaders with dedicated space to engage in deep discussions and rigorous activities around a particular problem of practice. Through these sessions, leader develop and hone the mindsets, skills and leadership actions required to lead more equitable schools.
In alignment with adult learning theory, job-embedded practice offers opportunities for leaders to apply newly acquired skills to their work. Leaders learn to implement their strategies in real-time and utilize feedback cycles to iterate and deepen their practice.
