Presented by New Leaders


New Leaders is a national US organisation dedicated to transforming school leadership by building the capacity of equity-minded leaders committed to the success of every child. Their professional development offerings span the full spectrum of school leadership β€” from aspiring principals to sitting superintendents β€” and are backed by what the organisation describes as the strongest evidence base of any education leadership programme in the country. New Leaders’ flagship programmes include the National Aspiring Principals Fellowship, developed in partnership with Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University, which prepares teachers for the principalship through an online certification pathway. For current leaders, their Principal Coaching programme provides confidential thought partnership using a cycle of inquiry to drive deep thinking and build capacity. The Leading and Learning Workshops offer focused four-hour virtual sessions addressing urgent problems of practice, while their Strategic District Consulting services support superintendents and senior leaders with priorities like strengthening instructional leadership, boosting retention, and developing financial plans. What distinguishes New Leaders is their commitment to equity as a non-negotiable β€” their programmes are designed to develop leaders who actively remove barriers to student success.
