Coaching
We help leaders further develop their strengths and address growth areas.
Leveraging Leaders provided individual and team coaching to the Sacramento City instructional superintendent team, to evolve principal development efforts and facilitate transformational, culturally responsive change across the district.
Leveraging Leaders partnered with the senior team to build a rubric and develop a 360-degree reflection and feedback process for IAL leaders, grounded in the school's character values of honesty, integrity, responsibility, caring and restraint.
Capacity-Building
We offer a broad range of supports to build leader and organizational capacity.
Leveraging Leaders designed the first middle school in Connecticut focused on educating and empowering LGBTQ+ students and their peers.to thrive as evolving learners and as their most authentic selves. Leveraging Leaders ensured a charter was granted, secured philanthropic support and facilitated the founding principal search process.
Leveraging Leaders completed a comprehensive evaluation of BCS's afterschool programs, sharing findings and recommendations with BCS senior leadership. Leveraging Leaders facilitated a series of professional development sessions with afterschool program directors to advance the quality of student learning and engagement across all sites.
Community
We provide cohort learning experiences for leaders to share expertise and experiences.
Karen Drezner from Leveraging Leaders co-facilitated TLA's Culturally Responsive Principal Supervision national cohort, a year-long professional development program supporting participants to lead for equity and access, focus on instruction, facilitate adult learning, cultivate their sociopolitical consciousness and strategize change and continuous improvement.
