Empowering Leaders. Transforming schools for every student.

We build the capacity of education leaders from the school house to the statehouse to make sure children of every race, culture, and other identity characteristics have access to the learning opportunities they need to thrive. Since 2003, we have worked with educators in more than 300 school systems across 39 states.

See first-hand how The Leadership Academy is helping develop culturally responsive education leaders in a new documentary by Visionaries, an award-winning public television series.
