Leading Educator Kelsey McLachlan listens closely to an educator

About Us

For the past 14+ years, we’ve helped educators grow their leadership so they can transform opportunity across schools and communities. Together, we’re making systemic change that lasts.

Potential, ignited.

Every young person deserves a fair chance to build the life they want. No matter who they are, where they come from, or how much money their family has, their education should prepare them for their next step and beyond.

The future is changing rapidly, and it also promises students new opportunities not seen by past generations. We exist to help school systems deliver on that promise.

Our Mission

Leading Educators partners with school systems to sustain the teaching, leadership, and conditions for every student to succeed in school and in life.

Where We Partner

No school system is the same, but they can all become dynamic learning organizations where all students and adults are set up to achieve greatly, together. Across the country, we’re seeing educators in dozens of cities prove what’s possible.
