What type of training and support is provided?
From the Summer Intensive to the school year Twilight sessions, Leading Educators receive training and support throughout their two-year commitment, including an annual trip to visit open admissions urban schools that are closing the achievement gap. Peer coaching and training from successful urban educators provide on-going support. For a more detailed description see Program Overview.
Foundations – the key academic component of New Leaders for New Schools’ training program – has two parts: one summer session and four week-long seminars during the school year. The program begins with Summer Foundations, bringing together all New Leaders Residents from across the country for a rigorous five-week training taught by outstanding principals and national education and business leaders. New Leaders receive several years of support, coaching, and mentoring from Leadership Coaches or Specialists, outstanding former principals who serve on our staff.
