Vision and Mission

Connecting Leadership and Student Achievement

SLN’s vision is that all school principals have the knowledge, skills, commitment, courage, and personal and professional attributes to guide, direct, and support to become leaders of high performing schools.

The mission of School Leaders Network is to expand educational opportunity for all students by transforming school leaders into empowered, highly effective principals who are capable of catalyzing change and driving increased student achievement at their schools.

To achieve this mission, School Leaders Network provides the structure for public school principals to work together, to solve real problems, and to become innovative and inspired leaders who improve schools and student achievement, school-by-school, so that all students in under-resourced schools graduate with college ready skills.

It is our vision that all school principals will have the knowledge, skills, commitment, courage, personal and professional attributes and support to become leaders of high performing schools, so that all students will graduate with the skills and knowledge to enable them to be successful in college and beyond.

Our model complements and catalyzes other school reform and improvement efforts by ensuring that leaders are given the skills and the support they need to be successful. By increasing the leadership capacity of school leaders, SLN serves as an accelerant to other initiatives aimed at improving student achievement.

Success is based on our belief in the intimate connection between leadership capacity and student achievement:
