Leadership Development HGSE has long been known for its deep commitment to preparing leaders in education, both through its degree programs and continued learning through Professional Education. Our comprehensive leadership development portfolio is designed to address the complex and critical work of school and district leaders throughout their careers, within specific school settings, and related to a broad range of topics that impact teaching, learning, and leadership. Our programs for school leaders and district leaders — from The Principals’ Center and the Certificate in School Management and Leadership to the Certificate in Advanced Education Leadership and the Harvard Institute for Superintendents and District Leaders — have served thousands of leaders, inspiring excellence and promoting transformational change. These programs are chaired by expert faculty and seasoned practitioners — themselves former principals and superintendents — who share an intimate knowledge of the challenges and opportunities facing education leaders, and a strong connection and commitment to the individuals who occupy or aspire to these important roles.

Collaborative Approaches to Systemic Improvement Change and improvement in education systems — sustained and at scale — cannot rely solely on extraordinary individual efforts but instead require the engagement and commitment of all. Many of our programs are specifically designed for teams because we know how important a shared learning experience is for developing a common language and approach, gaining buy-in, implementing new initiatives successfully, and sustaining impact on teaching and learning. Each of these programs addresses particular problems of practice — using data to inform and improve instruction, observing and analyzing teaching and learning in the classroom, engaging families meaningfully — and provides proven tools, protocols, and approaches for educators to practice and implement together for school and system-wide improvement efforts.

Instructional Rounds WWW.GSE.HARVARD.EDU/PPE/IR

Equity and Opportunity All children deserve to learn and to have opportunities to achieve at high levels.

The programs in this portfolio each address an urgent priority or persistent challenge — from narrowing achievement gaps and fostering postsecondary success to modeling courageous conversations and leading inclusive schools — and provide educators with important context and data, as well as concrete solutions for expanding opportunity and achieving excellence with equity.
