Across the country, districts and schools in our most marginalized communities are striving—sometimes struggling—to make meaningful progress in closing the achievement gaps that impact underserved students. Leading Educators exists to support schools in doing exactly that. We’re reinventing professional development for educators, taking it out of enormous auditoriums and putting it where it belongs: in schools, in environments where educators can interact and collaborate. Together with our district partners, we design training and support structures that improve the conditions for continuous growth across their schools. We guide educators to overcome implicit biases and to deepen their expertise in the content students need to master, using methods that have been proven to work in the world’s most effective education systems. When we lead educators, and empower them to lead other educators, we create exponential impact across entire school systems, ensuring consistently exceptional teaching for every student in every classroom, day after day, year after year.
