On average, 1 in 4 DC public school leaders leave their role or profession each year – leaders of color in under-resourced schools disproportionately experience burnout that necessitates this decision. School Leader Lab is the only organization providing professional development opportunities for local school leaders in a safe space. Some 400 principals, assistant principals, and teacher leaders participate in months-long small group cohorts, building community as they learn and practice real-world leadership skills. Through one-on-one coaching, school visits, wellness activities, and an off-site residency, leaders develop the skills they need to deliver rigorous, high-quality academic instruction, implement interventions for their students, and approach their leadership using an antiracist framework. With 81% of School Leader Lab participants remaining in school leadership positions, its long-term impact on educators and students is invaluable.
