Delaware Academy for School Leadership
Our Approach

Our mission is to improve public education by developing and supporting school and district leaders throughout all levels of their careers by providing powerful research-based professional learning programs, differentiated coaching services, and by advocating for best education practices and policies. We provide high-quality professional learning experiences for educators in the State of Delaware and serve as a model for the Nation.
To accomplish this, we do the following:
- Facilitate evidence-based professional learning services and provide ongoing support to schools and districts.
- Provide customized, capacity-building services by taking an active role in planning, implementing, and/or monitoring instructional improvement initiatives.
- Design, conduct, and disseminate research on contemporary educational issues that impact student learning and educator practice.
- Participate in policy initiatives within state and national organizations.
