One of the few professional learning providers with ESSA Tier-1 evidence of student impact in the What Works Clearinghouse, Leading Educators collaborates closely with school systems to develop nimble, scalable professional learning strategies that foster shared ownership of an instructional vision, support educators in practicing what they teach, and drive meaningful outcomes. We utilize contextualized design processes to translate research into practice, offering targeted solutions to persistent instructional challenges at the intersection of excellent teaching, thriving talent, and the purposeful use of technology.

Building capacity in partners to ultimately own systems of adult learning is key in measuring the success of partnerships at LE. We dedicate internal, content-specific staff expertise to collaborating with system and instructional leaders, as well as other stakeholders, to model, co-create, and hand off the development of all content- and curriculum-specific professional learning systems. These supports deepen the content knowledge and implementation base, enabling leaders to sustain the conditions for successful professional learning effectively.

At Leading Educators, we reject the “either/or” thinking that says learning can be either rigorous or culturally responsive. We believe that there is equity in ensuring every student has access to rigorous, engaging learning and that equitable opportunity means recognizing that students’ backgrounds and experiences are valuable assets. It does not mean lowering the bar.

Assessments are embedded throughout the course, including:

• 20-question untimed Knowledge Inventory (pre-assessment) following the course overview but preceding Tool 1 content
• 5-question untimed tests following Part 1 of each tool’s content (10 total)
• 10-question untimed tests following Part 2 of each tool’s content (10 total)
• 20-question untimed Knowledge Inventory (post-assessment) following completion of all course content.
• Participants must score at least 80 percent on each assessment to unlock content for the next Part or Tool in the course.

As an asynchronous course, participants can access Top 10 Tools whenever and wherever is convenient, including during the contractual school day.
