The AASA Leadership Network provides programs
to equip aspiring administrators with skills
and knowledge for success as district leaders,
tapping experienced educators as mentors and
critical friends. PREPARE serves as a gateway to
programs in CERTIFY, LEARN and INNOVATE.
AASA offers the only superintendent
certification program backed by the
nation’s largest, most diverse network of
superintendents. CERTIFY candidates are
mentored by experienced superintendents.
CERTIFY graduates go on to engage in
professional learning consortia tied
to LEARN and INNOVATE.
The Leadership Network offers targeted collaborative and professional learning
opportunities that deepen mindshare attuned to interest areas and discreet
contexts. Colleagues share challenges and problems of practice, experiences and
strategies. LEARN programs spark INNOVATE initiatives, intense sessions to
COLLABORATE, and even research and publishing opportunities for members.
AASA’s INNOVATE programs
facilitate active engagement in
key areas of interest that address
challenges in districts. Members
identify ways to scale and sustain
innovation in their schools as they
apply theories and methods in their
districts. INNOVATE members
often become thought leaders
in these interest areas, leading
to publishing opportunities in
COLLABORATE.
The Leadership Network serves
as a gateway to partnerships with
superintendents, school districts,
government organizations,
institutions of higher education
and business partners, which are
designed to meet critical needs,
drive change and innovation,
produce action research, and
improve outcomes for students.
