The heart of School Leader Lab is a cohort-based leadership program that develops school leaders across areas of instruction and adult leadership using a deep lens for equity and local context.

In concert with our School Leader Cohort, we partner with schools to support their organizational capacity for school leader development – in the form of project engagements and coaching.


“The support that the School Leader Lab has provided me has made an indelible impact on my leadership. The coaching and feedback, the Learning Lab sessions and the network of relationships provide me with support, accountability, and consistent reinforcement. I leave each interaction feeling deeply renewed, inspired and empowered.”

“I appreciate School Leader Lab because it has given me a solid community of school leaders of color in DC.”
