Core Values

 

At Leadership we are collectively committed to living these ten core values consistently through our words and actions. They underlie everything we do, every interaction we have and every decision we make. 

Individually and together we strive to: 

  • Forge the path.  Enjoy the journey. 
  • Lead, learn, and lead again.   
  • Foster an inclusive community through communication, connection and common purpose. 
  • Cultivate passion, creativity, joy and a sense of adventure. 
  • Respond to challenges, celebrate successes. 
  • Create opportunities, embrace change, and support growth. 
  • Pursue and encourage achievement in every act.   
  • Make it, measure it, maintain it and move it forward. 
  • Commit to finding strategic and extraordinary solutions. 
  • Contribute to positive change. 

Mission Statement

Leadership is a dynamic urban organization that enriches lives, emboldens confidence and expands options by building strong leaders in classrooms and communities.

Collaborative Leadership and Practice

NYC community schools are grounded in shared leadership and collaborative planning among school administrators, the lead CBO, and other key stakeholders. Community schools build a culture of professional learning, collective trust, and shared responsibility. Each community school has a community school director from the lead CBO who coordinates and integrates services, programs, partnerships, and supports for students and families.

Lead community-based organization (CBO): The Leadership Program

  • Community School Director (CSD): Jazmine Dugall (jazmine@tlpnyc.com)

  • Develop and coordinate community partnerships

  • Integrate and align the work of existing and new community partners to the overall goals of the school

  • Ensure the personalization of services and programming to meet individual students’ needs

The principal, School Leadership Team (SLT), and the lead CBO develop a collaborative leadership structure (such as a Community School Team) that meaningfully includes the voices of students, families, and other community members in planning and carrying out the vision of the community school.
