       Turnaround Leaders Program (TLP)
                                       Overview
       Modeled after NYC Leadership Academy’s Aspiring 
       Principals Program (APP) 
       •  APP entering its 10th year
            – APP grads represent 1 in 6 principals in NYC public schools
            – 98% placed in leadership positions (84% as principals and 14% 
               in other leadership positions)
            – Independent study results show accelerated achievement in ELA 
               and mathematics
       •  APP recognized as national model by USDOE, Bush Institute, and 
          Rainwater Leadership Alliance
       •  Other school systems nationally are adapting APP for their own 
          contexts  (e.g. Delaware, Denver, Massachusetts)
   TLP Approach
     Problem-based and action learning  
   • Put people in the actual work: develop the muscle  
    memory
   • Learning driven by comprehensive problem scenarios 
    and authentic, school-based challenges
