Leadership Programs
Communities of leaders working together to hone their vision and skills in instruction, culture, and strategy, to benefit all students.
Lead. Inspire. Empower.
School and system leaders face challenges - and opportunities - like never before. Relay Leadership Programs are designed to provide a space for leaders to learn together, inspire and empower each other, and return to their schools with the skills and clear vision on how to better serve students, teachers, and school communities.
Instructional Leadership Academies
In-depth leadership development programs that enable school and system-level leaders from across the country to become exceptional instructional leaders and transform their schools, districts, or networks. We strongly encourage districts to send teams of leaders to the programs that are right for them - this aligned approach creates the greatest impact.
Ongoing Leadership Support
Additional customized training, coaching, and development, specific to the needs of your instructional leadership teams.
Programs feature:
An experienced facilitator: All are highly-effective current or former school or system leaders.
Immediately actionable content: Our fellowship programs, targeted coaching, and job-embedded support provide educators with actionable development that can be implemented in their schools almost immediately.
A practice-based approach: At “Intersession” convenings, we provide ample time for small group discussion, practice, and synthesis of material.
An equity-centered intention: We treat equity not as a separate unit, but as a fundamental component of all leadership practice.
A diverse and supportive community: Facilitators create a warm and productive adult learning environment for leaders, encourage collaboration both with their district teams and with colleagues from different regions or contexts.
