How diverse are New Leaders?
Because selection to become a New Leader is competency-based, our community is very diverse: New Leaders range in age from 26 to 60. Two thirds are people of color. One third of New Leaders are men, and two thirds are women. New Leaders have experience in district, alternative, and charter schools, and bring with them a wide range of rich professional and personal experiences. While all of our New Leaders have prior teaching experience, half come directly from the school systems with which we partner and half come from outside these systems, representing diverse, successful backgrounds in schools, universities, companies, non-profit organizations and foundations.
