Executive Education Academy 2023-2024

Transform Yourself: Participate in the Executive Education Academy at Rice University

The Leadership Partners Executive Education Academy helps improve schools by offering campus and district leaders cutting-edge tools and strategies not found in traditional preparation programs nor in professional development offerings.

Research indicates principal preparation has remained static for decades and does not prepare leaders well enough to face the daunting and complex problems in K-12 schools. New 2021 Wallace Foundation research also indicates the deep importance in investing in leadership development.

That’s why Leadership Partners, in partnership with the Rice University Jones Graduate School of Business, provides a unique and cutting-edge professional development academy that focuses on the “whole leader”. Go here to see our full Theory of Action Developing the Whole Leader.

Rice Professors and National Faculty: Receive instruction from national premier professors from Rice and other universities.

Personalized Coaching: Benefit from six sessions of personalized Executive Coaching that occurs during the duration of the Academy

Cohort Groups: We deliberately network participants to connect leaders through the creation of cohort groups, where leaders can learn with and from each other during our programming.

The Timeframe: The Leadership Partners Academy is a nine-month program for campus and district leaders, taking place at Rice University one or two days a month from September 2023 – April 2024. This program culminates with our four-day June 2024 Leadership Summit at Rice University.

The Credits You Deserve: Participants earn CPEs and a Business Certificate from Rice University’s prestigious Jones Graduate School of Business.

  • District leaders – superintendents, deputy superintendents associate superintendents, assistant superintendents, executive directors, directors, coordinators
  • Campus Leaders – principals
