The Schlechty Center for Leadership in School Reform engages education leaders at the district, school, and classroom levels to:

• Enhance the capacity of the district to support and sustain reform at the building and classroom levels.
  
  
• Redesign schools so that they are more clearly focused on providing quality work for children and so that students become the true focus of all decisions made in schools.
  
  
• Help teachers, parents, and others who work in schools and classrooms to better understand the characteristics of quality work for students, and ensuring that teachers have the tools and support they need to design and deliver the highest-quality work for students.

In doing so, the Schlechty Center provides strategic consultation and targeted advice to district leaders, technical assistance and training to school boards and educators at all levels, and tools to assist educators in transforming their environment to focus on better outcomes for students, their parents, and the communities in which they live. The Schlechty Center continually draws on what it learns from its hands-on experience to invigorate its practice and inform the field of education reform.
