Providing Ongoing, Rigorous Professional Learning & Coaching for School Leaders

To be great leaders and make change that is sustainable, education leaders require ongoing high-quality professional learning. One-time professional learning opportunities can be good entry points to the work, but they rarely offer the in-depth, effective professional learning leaders need to make real change in schools. Research and our own experiences in the field tell us that high-quality ongoing professional learning helps leaders deal with challenges that require shifts in mindset and behavior, like addressing inequities, and keeps leaders in their jobs longer and making progress. The Leadership Academy has coached more than 2,500 leaders across the U.S.
