Our mission: to develop, support, grow, and sustain a diverse global community of equity and justice-focused education leaders committed to transforming schools and systems so that all students can thrive.

Advance equity-focused leadership with Berkeley’s Educational Leadership Learning Accelerator.

The Educational Leadership Learning Accelerator empowers equity-minded school and systems leaders with research-based tools, mindsets, and skills to disrupt inequitable structures and create lasting change. Leaders can access a range of transformative supports, including 1) professional learning opportunities, 2) one-on-one equity leadership coaching, 3) programs for visiting educational leaders, and 4) customized professional development.

Transformational change in education begins with leadership.

To address complex social justice and equity challenges, leaders need powerful, ongoing learning. At the Accelerator, Berkeley School of Education faculty and expert practitioners provide experiences that help leaders:

  • Deepen social justice leadership knowledge
  • Apply critical thinking to real-world challenges
  • Reflect on personal and organizational  practices
  • Build a global network of like-minded equity-focused leaders

Join us to innovate, lead and create equitable systems that allow all students to succeed.

The Interview Clinic was invaluable. I walked away with so many new tools and a lot of confidence! I know it made a difference in my job hunt.
