Leadership & Professional Education

The National P-3 Center focuses on systemic strategies that increase and support effective, cross-sector approaches to improving the preschool-through-3rd-grade years (0-8). Our approach to leadership and professional education is based on a deep understanding that one-time workshops are not effective in changing adult behaviors or in creating meaningful improvements in children's learning opportunities. Our leadership and professional education efforts are infused with a combination of extended learning time, team-based approaches, and a deep commitment to applying new knowledge to real-world work.
