Strategy for Success
We facilitate effective, bipartisan partnerships needed to achieve educational excellence and scale success across Arizona’s public schools.
At AZ Leads, We Take
A Different Approach.
We recognize no one has a monopoly on solving the education crisis in Arizona.
This is a complex problem, one that extends beyond partisan politics and issues of funding.
We aim to be a connector of viable solutions and strategies, bringing together problems and innovators.
To achieve success, solutions must involve a variety of people, programs and approaches that are student focused, have potential for wide-reaching impact, take a whole system approach, and have long-term goals built-in.
"As a teacher and a principal, there are two things I know for sure. The first is that there are solutions to the problems we face as educators. The second is that we make faster progress by working together. Organizations who partner with AZ Leads benefit from our commitment to transparency, efficacy and collaboration."
