The New Leaders for New Schools (NLNS) program is designed to promote high levels of academic achievement by attracting, preparing and supporting outstanding school leaders for the nation’s urban district and charter schools. It has established successful partnerships with public school systems and charter schools in New York City and several other cities and plans to expand to additional urban areas each year. Over the next 10 years, NLNS aims to create a 2,000-person principal corps. The next round of applications is due March 1, 2006. During their first year, New Leaders complete demanding academic study, skill development in leadership, and a full-time paid residency in an urban public school. Once New Leaders complete their first year, they continue to receive two years of coaching and mentoring. For more information, visit http://www.nlns.org/NLWeb/Leader.jsp.
