Lower test scores. Higher dropout rates. Fewer qualifed teachers. Diminished resources. These are just a

ew o the critical challenges acing U.S. urban schools today. While some urban school districts can point

to success stories, most do not have the necessary management models or strategy to sustain consistent

perormance. To address these issues, Harvard Business School (HBS), Harvard Graduate School o Education

(HGSE), and the HBS Social Enterprise Initiative established the Public Education Leadership Program

(PELP) in 2007. Based on the unprecedented success o the Public Education Leadership Project, an ongoing

initiative developed by HBS, HGSE, and leaders rom several o the largest U.S. public school systems in

2003, this Executive Education program helps district leaders drive improved perormance throughout their

schools. By integrating both managerial and leadership best practices, your team will learn how to execute a

strategy to achieve excellence across the entire district, as well as establish a culture o collaboration, high

expectations, and accountability or your school systemand your students.
