About us
We develop leaders to create schools where adults want to work, students thrive, and everyone feels valued. We know leaders are essential to meaningful outcomes, and too often, leadership development is narrowly focused on technical skills. We’re different. We build brave spaces. We cultivate community. We develop the whole leader.

🏫 🎒 🎶 See this back-to-school playlist? Very mindful. Very vibey. Somewhat demure. 🏫 🎒 🎶 Our ED Erica Beal's curated playlist, inspired by President Obama's summer tradition, brings all the moods you'll need for the school year ahead. If you know School Leader Lab, you know music is an essential part of the experience. Here are some favorites that will take you from your morning commute to after dismissal wind down. Highlights include: 'Knuck if You Buck' - Crime Mob (Erica's hype song to get ready for big moments) 'Optimistic' - Sounds of Blackness (nothing gets a group of PD participants in the mood for new learning like 'Optimistic') 'Lovely Day' - Bill Withers (a great student walk-in song for a grade-level meeting with a group of 7th graders) 'Three Little Birds' - Bob Marley (for writing your weekly newsletter after all the kids are gone) Remember, this is an adult-facing playlist. We're not suggesting you play Crime Mob to first graders. 'Just a Cloud Away' works, though! What's your go-to work song? Comment below! Happy School Year 2024-2025! With leaders like you, it's going to be amazing. 🚀🎓 #BackToSchool #EducatorPlaylist https://lnkd.in/exCSYWbT

It's time to break down the barriers of systemic racism in our schools! Educators must acknowledge and address this issue at every level. By educating ourselves, listening to our students and colleagues, and taking action, we can build a more equitable and inclusive future for all.
🔥 Please read my latest blog! 🔥 It’s a raw, unapologetic look at the reluctance of white peers to truly understand why so many of us feel unsafe when it comes to speaking out about racism. This is not about pointing fingers or shaming anyone—but let’s be real, it’s time to call it out. The silence, the defensiveness, the discomfort—these are all part of the problem, and it’s exhausting. I’m tired, and I know I’m not alone. We need to have this conversation, and we need to have it now. It's time for real change, and it starts with acknowledging the truth. Please, take a moment to read, reflect, and join the conversation. Let's push through the discomfort and make space for honesty, understanding, and, most importantly, action.

Imagine feeling like you don't fit in at school. It can be tough, right? For students of color, this feeling can be even more pronounced. But we can change that! Let's create classrooms where everyone feels welcome and valued. We can do this by making sure our lessons and activities reflect the experiences of all our students.
When students feel connected to school, they’re more likely to attend and perform well academically. Get insight on what may be getting in some students' way. #K12 #Schools #EWTopReadsoftheWeek
