Why is educator development critical? 

In both our present and our future, schools need highly capable and supported teachers and leaders to help students reach their full potential. Our educators' capacity and skills directly impact student achievement, and the complex job of teaching and leading warrants a need for the ongoing training and support to meet the needs of all students. SustainED Leaders is committed to building the current and next generation of education leaders by working side-by-side with educator and district teams to implement the highest-impact systems, grounded in research. Through this work, our partnerships will ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed.

Our work is rooted in collaboration with families, schools, and communities, and we believe that strong relationships, high expectations, and thoughtful innovation are key to making lasting change in education.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Our Organization:
We aim to cultivate a collaborative workplace where team members work together with trust and accountability. We encourage every member of our team to reflect on how their personal experiences shape their approach to problem-solving and relationship-building. As we grow together, we are committed to building effective systems, strengthening professional capacity, and modeling a culture of continuous improvement that helps our organization serve schools and students with excellence and integrity.

Our Engagement in Learning:
We design learning experiences that support educators in meeting the needs of all students. SustainED Leaders encourages all participants in our programs to engage in professional growth that deepens their understanding of how to support strong academic and personal outcomes for every student. We believe that professional development is most effective when it fosters a sense of shared purpose, respect, and collaboration—allowing educators to learn from one another and strengthen their ability to lead schools where every child can succeed.

Our Community of Leaders:
We support a growing network of education leaders who are committed to building impactful school cultures and raising achievement for all students. Our work helps leaders draw on their strengths, build authentic connections, and shape school environments that support both adults and children in reaching their full potential. We value the ideas and experiences that each educator brings to our programs and believe those contributions are essential to building successful schools.

Our Approach to Design:
We continuously study and integrate research-informed practices into our program design, drawing insights from educators, leaders, and communities from across the country. We believe that educational materials and approaches should reflect the needs of the students they serve, and we are committed to ongoing evaluation and refinement of our programs to ensure they are relevant, effective, and responsive to the challenges schools face today.

This statement represents our current commitment to excellence in education. As our organization and the broader education landscape continue to evolve, we will review and adapt our strategies to ensure they remain effective, inclusive, and focused on preparing all students for success.
