About Stanford EdLEADers

For the past 50 years, the Stanford Graduate School of Education (GSE) and Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) have leveraged their interdisciplinary perspectives to equip leaders to drive education innovations. Stanford EdLEADers, a recent GSE and GSB collaboration, was designed to address the opportunities and challenges of school system superintendents, aspiring superintendents and education thought-leaders whose work impacts entire school systems. Program participants gained new insights and leadership skills to effect innovation and systemic improvement in their school districts for the larger purpose of improving student outcomes, and building stronger, more effective schools.

This program is no longer available. If you would like to explore other opportunities at the Stanford GSE, please visit our Professional Learning page. You can also stay in touch with us by signing up for our quarterly Professional Learning newsletter.
