"I had rich, powerful
dialogue with colleagues
within and outside of
my daily work, which
expanded my thinking
beyond my present world
and provided me with new
perspective and energy."

The Change Leadership Group works to build school and district leaders' capacities to ensure success for all students. We provide brief professional development programs for school teams and individual practitioners, and intensive, site-based multi-year team-coaching services. Explore our offerings below.




Three-Day Learning Lab:
Systemic Change for Student Success
at the Harvard Graduate School of Education


The Change Leadership Group's "Learning Lab" is designed to provide leaders of schools, districts, or networks with an overview of a comprehensive approach to systemic school and district change to improve learning for all students. The seminar is held at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The Learning Lab introduces a new conceptual framework for change, and invites participants to try out new tools and strategies to address a specific problem or issue from your school or district. Click here to see the schedule of upcoming programs.
