Marshall Leadership Institute is a different type of school leadership organization. Translating years of learning from Summit Public Schools, we design and facilitate human-centered leadership program grounded in real schools with real outcomes. We partner with school communities to nurture transformational leaders who lead with authenticity, clarity and resilience to drive change within their school systems. Today, Marshall Leadership Institute serves over 300 leaders nationwide, partnering with more than 60 schools across eight states. Sixty percent of Marshall leaders represent the global majority, and 85 percent of aspiring leaders are in school leadership roles within three years. Notably, 96 percent of Marshall Leadership Institute alumni still work in education and 100 percent recommend our Emerging Leaders pathway to their colleagues. All of our offerings are designed specifically to produce outcomes like these: diverse cohorts of leaders who are equipped to rise into new roles quickly and effectively.
Executive Director, Marshall Leadership Institute
“One of the strongest assets of our pathways is the community we foster and the long-lasting partnerships our leaders forge, even after their cohort year concludes. Very frequently, the leaders who entered the cohort without knowing one another continue to provide each other support and encouragement, and grapple with real-time challenges together. This role can feel lonely, and building those strong connections and networks of support can build the hope, resilience and focus our school leaders need for the long haul.”
The Emerging Leaders Pathway (ELP) is our national, leadership development program for full-time teachers. A 10-month program that prepares teachers for leadership roles while remaining in the classroom.
