UCLA Women’s School Leadership Academy 2021
UCLA WSLA is a pioneering leadership program for women. It provides women leaders with the tools and knowledge they need to be more impactful educational leaders. The 10-month program goes beyond the K – 12 leadership basics to help women realize their own voices and to shape their own stories.
The program is the anchor of an academy that offers program graduates continuing options for networking and learning. Instructors are expert leaders in education. Keynote speakers are outstanding leaders in a variety of fields. The program embraces social justice and is designed for working professionals.
