The NYC Leadership Academy (NYCLA), a nationally-recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit, has for more than a decade developed great, passionate and skilled school leaders — leaders who drive change, inspire teachers, and improve academic outcomes for all students. We have designed and delivered rigorous, data-driven, and standards-based leadership professional development – thus building the long-term capacity of school systems and their leaders. To meet this charge, our organization is helping to transform the landscape of public education through our work in school districts, state departments of education, universities, and nonprofits in more than 26 states, including more than 40 clients, and in Colombia and Brazil. NYCLA also actively contributes and influences the field of educational practice and leadership.
