System Leader Launchpad
Align your system- and school-level team implementation with year-long virtual support from a system design partner
Start your system’s journey toward effective team-based models with an interactive strategy session designed to build alignment, clarify your vision and set meaningful goals. You will start by focusing on the system-level levers — such as human resources, finance, operations and scheduling — that shape sustainable implementation.
Then, after your initial strategy session, you will participate in four planning sessions designed to support phased implementation, address emerging challenges in real-time and strengthen alignment between system- and school-level execution.

System Leader Launchpad is designed for system-level leaders — such as superintendents, assistant superintendents and district-level administrators — who are preparing to implement team-based staffing models.
After a preliminary strategy session, your leadership team will engage in four follow-up sessions to support phased planning, address emerging challenges and strengthen coherence between system strategy and school-level execution.
Your team will leave with a clear implementation roadmap, a better understanding of necessary system shifts and a plan to prepare schools for participation in initiatives like the School Leader Launchpad.
System Leader Launchpad is held virtually, beginning with a 3-hour kickoff session focused on system-level considerations, followed by four virtual coaching sessions scheduled around availability.
We recommend including key decision-makers across academics, human resources, finance and operations to ensure holistic planning and alignment.
