Every school has its own culture, its own community and its own challenges. Programming that resonates in a neighboring school might not be the right fit for your school.
At The Leadership Program, we listen to your story and determine which programs will be most effective. These programs combine the latest research and data with our years of experience to dial into the needs of each individual school, and include Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) standards and Common Core Learning Standards (CCSS).
