CCL has published 2 books, one for educators and one for children, about Social-Emotional Leadership, strengthening our investment in building tomorrow’s leaders today.
Effective leaders are invaluable, both in the classroom and in the workforce. And strong educational leaders directly impact student and community success. Yet school and district leaders must produce results despite limited resources and complex, competing demands.
Investing in high-quality, research-based leadership training for educators can help build a more trusting, collaborative, and inclusive culture where learning occurs every day. Our proven educational leadership training programs help develop leadership skills for principals, headmasters, teachers, and administrators — improving outcomes both for individual students and entire schools, districts, and communities. But leadership development is not just for adults.
Today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders. The better they can understand themselves and work effectively with others, the greater impact they can make on the world around them. That’s why integrating youth leadership development into classrooms and schools enhances a student’s social-emotional skills and overall growth.
At CCL, we’re proud of our educational leadership development training with students, faculty, principals, schools, districts, associations, and higher education institutions. Many of our school leadership training initiatives offering top-notch professional development for educators are funded through partnerships with foundations for philanthropic leadership.
Partner with us to co-create programs that provide transformative leadership training for educators.
Using our extensive research, discovery process, and a combination of talent diagnostic tools and assessments, we can do a deep dive into your people, your organizational priorities, and your staff engagement levels to help inform your investments to ensure you see ROI as you develop leadership skills for principals and headmasters.
We offer a variety of solutions for professional development for educators. School administrators can register cohorts of educators for our short, self-paced ecourses, Social-Emotional Leadership and Building Collective Efficacy in Schools.
These research-based courses give teachers and staff the tools and support they need to build school cultures focused on collaboration and continuous improvement, enabling students to engage and achieve more.
Starting from the transformative premise that better culture starts with better conversations, our conversational skills training can help you strengthen the fabric of your entire school, organization, and community.
Build and scale conversational skills for more candid and productive conversations, more effective solutions, and a stronger, more psychologically safe culture at your educational institution.

At CCL, we measure success by lives touched and impact made.

But don’t just take our word for it — take theirs.
“Our partnership with CCL…has been an immense blessing. Evaluations at the end of the program clearly demonstrate the strong positive effect on school leaders. The networking, skill training, and understanding of self as a leader are instrumental in successful outcomes for participants…it is simply outstanding.”
“Can I just say that I love CCL? I love the impact it has made on me personally and professionally. I love how it fits perfectly with educational philosophy and globalization… I love the footprint CCL is making on the Ravenscroft community.”
“This has been one of the best leadership development courses I have experienced in my 25 years of education. The course made me grow as a superintendent, leader, father, and husband. The program makes you reflect on who you are as a person and provides peer support to help you grow in weak areas. I would recommend this training for any new or seasoned superintendent. Awesome experience!”

The better that today’s youth can understand themselves and work effectively with others, the greater impact they can make on the world as future leaders. And based on over a decade of research, we’ve developed an evidence-based framework for student leadership development called Social-Emotional Leadership. Increasing students’ social-emotional leadership increases their engagement and even academic performance.
Adults can actively encourage and foster social-emotional leadership development with students of all ages. But to be able to engage students authentically in leadership development, headmasters, school administrators, faculty, and staff need educational leadership development experiences of their own.
Principals play a pivotal role in shaping positive school cultures. They must manage hiring and evaluating teachers, communicating with parents, keeping test scores up, budgeting and fundraising, and creating an environment where a diverse range of instructors and students can thrive. Good leadership permeates a school, fostering collaboration and trust, enhancing instructional effectiveness, and ultimately, impacting student learning. Thus, school leadership training is crucial for educational success.
Whether you want to offer professional leadership training for educators in your faculty or district, provide principal leadership development to headmasters, or support social-emotional learning for students, we have research-based K-12 educational leadership training programs that can help.
Leadership training for educators can help create a more trusting and inclusive culture where learning happens every day. Additionally, our research-backed leadership training helps educators foster more collaborative relationships in schools, districts, and communities overall. When you integrate leadership development into classrooms and schools, it enhances the leadership capacity of superintendents, principals, headmasters, and teachers, while at the same time supporting the holistic growth and social-emotional leadership of students.
School leadership training is important because it strengthens educational leaders, enhances leadership skills for principals, administrators, and staff, and builds youth leadership capacity within faculties and districts. Investments in educational leadership development can help improve learning outcomes for entire communities.
At the Center for Creative Leadership, our evidence-based professional leadership training helps build leadership skills for principals by leveraging credentialed, relevant, and personalized programming that’s designed to deliver classroom success and build collaborative relationships in schools, districts, and communities. We understand the unique challenges that principals and headmasters face, like managing and hiring teachers, fundraising, and keeping standardized test scores up, so we have tailored our programs to develop the leadership skills needed to tackle these issues head-on.
