educational leadership on the cutting edge

 

"Educational leadership is a far more challenging occupation than it used to be. In order to create high-performing schools and the districts that support them, today's leaders must understand organizational theory and management principles just as thoroughly as educational theory and practice. LEADS is structured not just to bring that knowledge to the table, but to help leaders create tangible action plans and to use the collective expertise of the network to put those plans into place."

— Linda Darling-Hammond, SRN Co-executive Director and Stanford University Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education
