As education leaders rise to the challenge of providing all students with a strong competitive advantage, how are you designing systems of excellence and a championship culture that will drive forward the success of your students and community?
The Leadership Institute for Transformative Education (LIFTED) supports public education leaders in accelerating their process of designing for district excellence. We seek leaders who are committed to giving their district's students and communities a strong competitive advantage as they launch into a future of infinite possibilities.
