SRN LEADS/Stanford University: School Redesign Network — Leadership, Equity & Accountability in Districts & Schools

Mission

The School Redesign Network (SRN) was established in 2000 at Stanford University to build, capture and share research-based knowledge to transform secondary schools and school systems. Our mission is to help support and sustain equitable schools and districts that are intellectually rigorous, high performing, and designed to help all students master the knowledge and skills needed for success in college, career and citizenship.

 

The Leadership, Equity & Accountability in Schools and Districts (LEADS) network was established in 2006 to further the work of SRN specifically at the district level. LEADS applies cutting-edge knowledge from scholars and practitioners in education and business to the complex challenges confronting urban school systems. LEADS operates on the principle that equitable and high-achieving school systems require powerful classroom instruction supported by performance-driven central offices. Read more about LEADS.
