Our Programs
Partners for Educational Leadership is responsive to the evolving educational climate and needs of school districts. We provide hands-on, facilitated opportunities to try out new skills in safe, collaborative environments, meeting the needs of educators at all levels – families, superintendents, central office leaders, building leaders, and staff. Through these programs and communities of practice, we support organizational improvement and leadership development in an interactive and dynamic professional learning environment.
We offer a suite of interrelated programs and services. Moreover, we partner with our clients, providing context-specific support and guidance.
Partners for Educational Leadership offers a series of cost-effective and powerful professional learning institutes. These team-centered experiences provide research-based frameworks, powerful adult learning, and practical tools that are readily transferred back into district, schools, and classrooms.

We’re bringing Peter Liljedahl back in 2024!
The response of the folks who got to see Peter in person was overwhelmingly positive. And we know that there are many other math teachers who were not at one of the workshops but who’ve read the book and are starting to implement the 14 practices in their classrooms. We want to support these efforts! Click the link below to be redirected to our Building Thinking Classrooms website for the latest in related offerings from us.
