UCLA Women’s School Leadership Academy

UCLA Women’s School Leadership Academy 2021

UCLA WSLA is a pioneering leadership program for women. It provides leaders with the tools and knowledge they need to be more impactful educational leaders. The 6-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.

Its three through lines are:

• 360 degree leadership
• Communicating for impact
• Navigating public and private lives

These through lines are informed by five themes:

• Promoting equity, access and inclusion
• Leading as a woman in times of calm and crisis
• Making decisions considering multiple cultural and political perspectives
• Networking for career development
• Women supporting women in professional growth

In WSLA, women learn online from one another and from leaders through:
