About Us
Partners for Educational Leadership’s core practice is partnering with districts and other organizations to strengthen their leadership, systems, and improvement strategies in service of improved and more equitable outcomes for students.
Founded in 1994 with generous initial support from the William Caspar Graustein Memorial Fund, Partners for Educational Leadership works to enhance the capacity of schools and districts to improve outcomes for all students through coaching, consulting, and capacity building.
