Charter School Executives: Toward A New Generation of Leadership

With an unprecedented increase in the number of public charter schools anticipated over the next 5-10 years, our movement must act now to prepare the school leaders of tomorrow.

"Charter School Executive: Toward a New Generation of Leadership" recommends that a new kind of leadership development system is needed in addition to improving the current pipeline. Importantly, through collaboration within the movement, we must create a new kind of leadership credential granted by highly-qualified local institutions. In the end, evaluation of this system should be based upon student achievement gains in the schools headed by the leaders who hold this credential.
