​SENIOR LEADERS

Our one-year Senior Leadership Program is designed to prepare current and future Principals, Directors, Vice Presidents,
and Regional Superintendents to excel in their roles through hands-on training, coaching, and ongoing support. We focus on developing both the adaptive and technical leadership skills essential for success in senior leadership positions. Additionally, we help leaders establish their leadership identity, voice, and story through personalized career coaching, a strong sense of community, and a supportive brotherhood.

Elite, Differentiated & Holistic Coaching 

 

A report by New Schools Venture reveals that only 25% of leadership teams in the education sector are made up of Black or Latino individuals, and just 17% of CEOs are Black or Latino. To change this, we need bold, courageous leaders who can challenge and dismantle the systemic inequities hindering the success of Black and Latino students, staff, and leaders. This program is dedicated to developing the leaders who will drive this transformation.​​​
