Transformational administrators and teachers are necessary to reach our goal of 60,000 more students learning in excellent public schools, creating the need for 530 administrators and 2,500 teachers within the next five years. In 2019-20, our Aspiring Leaders program offered summer intensive courses at Rice University with 13 future school leaders as they completed their courses before beginning job-embedded learning this school year.
