New Leaders
New Leaders is an American non-profit organization that aims to recruit and train school leaders who focus on improving education results for poor and minority students. It also aims to promote system-level policies and practices that provide support to these leaders. The organization was founded in 2000 as New Leaders for New Schools by Jonathan Schnur and a group of teachers and investors. Research from the Harvard Business School and RAND corporation has found that principals from the New Leaders program have "outperform() their peers". , the initiative operates in 12 cities across the United States. ==Creation and history== New Leaders for New Schools (now "New Leaders") was founded in 2000 by a group including Jonathan Schnur, former education policy analyst for President Bill Clinton; Ben Fenton, former management consultant at McKinsey & Co.; Mike Johnston, a former Teach for America corps member; Allison Gaines, a former New York City public school teacher; and Monique Burns, an education-reform advocate specializing in charter schools. The idea was developed while the group was attending graduate school at Harvard University as an approach to the impending shortage of school principals nationwide.〔 In 2000, the concept was a finalist in the Harvard Business School's annual business plan contest, the first non-profit submission to earn such recognition. Following the contest, New Leaders received funding offers and was able to formally begin operation. By 2001, New Leaders had chosen and trained the first 15 participants to serve as urban school principals. That year the program launched in New York City, Chicago and the Aspire Public Schools charter network in Northern California.〔 The program later expanded into other areas, including Washington, D.C. late in 2001, Memphis in 2004, New Orleans and Milwaukee in 2007, and Charlotte in 2008. According to the organization, more than 250,000 students in the United States have been enrolled in schools with New Leaders , and the program has resulted in measurably raised student achievement and high school graduation rates.
