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 200 school systems across 37 states.

See first-hand how The Leadership Academy is helping develop culturally responsive education leaders in a new documentary by Visionaries, airing on public television beginning this fall.
