NCEE’s Superintendent Academy is a rigorous, research-based, cohort-delivered executive development program for district superintendents. The academy provides district leaders with the knowledge, skills and tools to design and lead district-wide, coherent, aligned systems of instruction and learning, based on examples of the top performers in the U.S. and worldwide.
The Superintendent Academy is delivered as an 18-month program organized across two academic years delivered to cohorts of 25 or more participants. It focuses on facilitated sessions led by successful former superintendents and education experts, with support from an international team of researchers and practitioners. The academy leverages decades of research on adult learning and emphasizes real-world application. Each participant develops and implements action learning in an opportunity to apply the concepts of system redesign to create a high-performance district that gets dramatically improved results for students and teachers. The academy is structured as follows:
Core Lens 1: Students who graduate college- and career-ready
Core Lens 2: Highly-qualified teachers and teaching
Core Lens 3: High-performance organization and management
