Potential, ignited.
Day in and day out, teachers strive to teach every student to great heights. No matter what lies ahead, Leading Educators has your back.
Our Approach
Across the country, school systems are striving—and sometimes struggling—to strengthen opportunity for Black, Latinx, and Indigenous students of color. Leading Educators provides critical support where it’s needed most, so every student feels affirmed and ready for their next step.
We reimagine professional development, taking it out of enormous auditoriums and put it back where it belongs: in schools where teachers can collaborate to bring excellent, equitable lessons to life. We equip teachers to address strong academics, well-being, and antiracism as equal parts of nurturing experiences and bolster partners’ capacity to sustain improvement. When we support educators, and create the conditions for all students to thrive, we ignite exponential growth that changes lives.

Support that Works
Educators face complex challenges, but we’re making steady progress in diverse communities by working together. School systems are full of strengths, and our job is to help them build for the future they imagine.
OUR VISION: Every day, every student will experience excellent and equitable teaching.
