National Institute for School Leadership, Inc. (NISL) | National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE)
History
With support in part from grants by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Broad Foundation, the Stupski Foundation, and the New Schools Venture Fund, the National Institute for School Leadership was created in July 2001 to provide states and school districts with a world-class executive development program for school leaders. The original research underpinning NISL was conducted by Marc Tucker and Judy Codding-- from the National Center on Education and the Economy. Their work resulted in the publication by Jossey-Bass of the study "The Principal Challenge" (2002). Developed over the next two years and based on best practices in leadership development worldwide, the NISL Executive Leadership Program now offers a first-rate curriculum, developed by national and international leaders in education; focuses on standards-based instructional leadership; and uses the best face-to-face and online adult learning approaches.
With content contributions from scores of education experts across the nation, NISL has developed the multi-million dollar curriculum (with face-to-face and online instruction). The program has been adopted by Massachusetts, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania, as well as by school districts in Duval County (FL), Savannah (GA) and Santa Monica (CA).
