Institute for Educational Leadership

For a half-century, the Institute for Educational Leadership has championed the need for leaders at all levels to shake off their institutional constraints and work across boundaries to address the needs of young people and their families. Bound by no constituency, IEL serves as a catalyst that helps policymakers, administrators, and practitioners at all levels to bridge bureaucratic silos and undo gridlock to improve outcomes for all young people and their families.

The work of IEL focuses on three pillars required for young people and their communities to succeed:

Involving the broader community with public education to support the learning and development of young people.
Building more effective pathways into the workforce for all young people and supporting the transition to adulthood.
Preparing generations of leaders with the know-how to drive collaborative efforts at all levels.
