Partner With Us

Designed for You & Built to Last

Educators want all their students to become confident, lifelong learners—no matter what they look like, where they come from, or how much money their family has. You want to help them build upon their passion with vetted materials, smarter collaboration, and proven practices. We’re helping partners across the country make that happen.

Like a great teacher builds on a student’s strengths, we’ll meet your district where you are.

“Districts like Oakland are often faced with the question: how effective is our teacher collaboration time to actually grow teacher capacity and student achievement? We know that the surest way to improvement is by increasing our collective efficacy, which means content PLCs are our most important lever for change. We know that [partnering]...with Leading Educators on our content cycles will be transformative for us as a district."

Abby Kerins, Oakland Unified School District

"This has been an amazing partnership with lots of new learning and professional development for stakeholders that support schools and district office staff. The relationships we've built within the LE team and our district math team have led to greater flexibility and understanding. One thing I really love about LE is their empathy as a partner. They always ask what's happening and what we need to do so that we can make adjustments on our end. No other partners do this."

District Leader, Teaching & Learning

We don’t just make recommendations. We see them through.

Our approach isn’t just a theory–it’s tried, tested, and effective. Dig into case studies to learn how we’ve helped partners reshape the support around their teachers so every student thrives.

Tulsa Public Schools

After adopting a new curriculum, TPS partnered with Leading Educators to support teachers in not just learning the curriculum, but mastering it. Rather than lead professional development in auditoriums and gyms, Leading Educators created a system in which teacher leaders would guide their peers through learning sessions. The result? Empowered teachers who empower other teachers.
