Application: Aspiring Superintendents Academy® for Latino and Latina Leaders

It was very powerful to ground ourselves in understanding how our culture influences our leadership, as an asset and not as part of a deficit mindset.

Learning from Latino/a leaders who are doing the work allowed me to build my capacity and strengthen my impact to improve outcomes for all students!

The most valuable part of the program was connecting with diverse groups of mentors and mentees across the nation who have made themselves available as thought partners. These people had, and will continue to have, a lasting impact on how I think about, and act upon, the challenges we face in education.
