“Being part of Lead Liberated has reminded me that I don’t have to lead alone. The space created has allowed me to be vulnerable and heal in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. This community has reminded me that healing and leadership can (and should) coexist.”

Cohort 5

“The coaching I am receiving through a Lead Liberated Partnership has really helped me to be more clear, explicit, and specific with instructional feedback and teacher development. This allows teachers to reflect on their practice through the lens of student learning. As a result, there is more student learning – where students are really authentically involved in their learning and not sitting in the classroom waiting for the teacher to do the thinking for them.”

Principal Tammie Adams
Cohort 2 and Partner

“The calibration and learning walks using the TNTP rubric, developing a coaching plan, and developing an ILT plan have directly helped me grow and make an impact as an instructional leader. I love all of it. Lead Liberated pushes me to sharpen my instructional lens, support others’ instructional lens, and focus on the work of leveling up our students’ learning experiences and learnings!”
