GiveNOLA Day | May 6, 2025
GiveNOLA Day is almost here, and it’s your chance to impact education in Louisiana positively.
For 24 hours on May 6, 2025, thousands across the region will come together to support causes they care about. As part of this one-day giving event hosted by the Greater New Orleans Foundation, we at the School Leadership Center (SLC) invite you to join us in our mission: to strengthen school leadership and improve student achievement.
Every donation to SLC helps us provide high-quality coaching, training, and support to principals and school leaders. Strong leadership leads to stronger schools, better teaching, and brighter futures for our students.
Can’t wait until May 6? Early giving runs from April 29 to May 5, so you can make your gift anytime during that window, too!
Invest in school leaders. Invest in student success.
Mark your calendar for May 6 or give early at here.
Thank you for believing in education's power and the people who lead it!
Our Theory of Action
SLC encourages strong leadership and teamwork, supports thoughtful practice, fosters academic understanding, collaborates with all schools (public and private), and connects school leaders to wider networks. Our partners build a diverse group of educational leaders focused on making schools supportive communities for learners of all ages while enhancing knowledge about school leadership through research and evaluation to boost student success.
Our Services
-
Strategic Planning
School teams use the Data Inquiry process to identify and solve learning and operational issues in their schools. Leaders focus on student needs within a targeted improvement plan and monitor progress strategically. Participating teams gained insights into the needs of individual students and groups to improve teaching practices and enhance student performance.
-
Discovery Walks
Discovery Walks examine teaching and learning in the classroom. A team of skilled educators and the principal observe the school's culture, environment, and student engagement. They record their observations on handheld devices. SLC staff and the principal analyze the data to identify common trends. This compiled information forms the basis for a year-long instructional improvement program at the school.
-
Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Development
School principals play a crucial role in student success, following teachers in importance, while support staff significantly affects teacher retention. We customize leadership training to fit the needs of each individual and school to boost teacher retention and student success.
