Educator Leader Team
The Educational Leadership Team (ELT) is composed of teachers and staff members from our partner schools and acts as the decision-making body for those schools. The ELT is currently navigating its first major decision concerning the approach to one of its outcomes. This decision marks a significant step in the team’s journey as they exercise full autonomy and authority over shaping the educational landscape.
Some examples of ELT Innovation Projects currently underway include creating sensory rooms for our schools, implementing professional development programs, collaborating with other schools nationwide to learn about best practices, and many others.
Partners
At the WLC, our mission is made possible through the invaluable support of our diverse partners, including community organizations, educational institutions, and government agencies. Their collaboration is crucial to driving meaningful change in our schools and creating a lasting impact for our students.
