Connect Leaders
We bring together leaders in educator preparation who want their programs to consistently prepare effective beginning teachers. We build the capacity of these leaders to drive change.
Impact Academy 2019Deans for Impact works to ensure that every beginning teacher is good on day one, and on the path to become great over time.
We do this by connecting with leaders of educator preparation programs; helping them transform their programs; sustaining these transformations over time; and influencing policy that affects their work.
