Theory of Change
Leadership is about change. Successful school leaders in the future -particularly in chronically underperforming urban and rural schools where the needs are the greatest - must possess different skills and characteristics than the school leaders of the last decade. Since new and unexpected challenges constantly confront principals in schools, the development the learning experiences of aspiring and practicing principals should reflect preparation for the unexpected. The Academy’s transformational leadership model develops the principal’s ability to serve as a potent change agent, inspiring others to think and perform in new ways, resulting in significant positive effects on teacher satisfaction, effectiveness and overall school and student performance.
