Transformational leadership in education advances equity for all learners. For system-level leaders, a commitment to both excellence and equity is an essential step in a personal and professional journey that will continue throughout your life. Learning to develop and sustain standards of excellence with genuinely inclusive, equity-focused schools and systems requires leaders to understand the intersection of race, identity, power, and privilege in society and, as a result, in schools. You will embark on a journey of self-examination about your mindset and your beliefs about different students and their achievement, learn to have courageous conversations about differences, and gain a deeper understanding of the blind spots we all hold. Most important, you will learn best practices and develop leadership strategies that build the capacity of teachers and principals to recognize the potential and ability in all children and to promote their success at high levels.
Each module spans approximately 12 weeks. Coursework is flexible—you can begin with any module and complete modules in any order. Upon successful completion, you will receive a certificate of competencies in Advanced Education Leadership.
