The Alliance Experience for School Leaders

Transform L.A.

Leaders at Alliance schools have the opportunity to inspire transformational change for scholars and their communities, while developing and collaborating with like-minded, committed professionals. Principals and APs also transform their leadership skills through meaningful professional development, Home Office support, and autonomy necessary to serve the unique needs of their schools and communities.

THE ALLIANCE DIFFERENCE

Autonomy

  • The School Site Advisory Council (SSAC) at each Alliance school provides a platform for teachers to participate in the decision-making process at their school, along with the principal, scholars, staff, families, and community members. The SSAC also provides recommendations to the Alliance College-Ready Public Schools Board of Directors.
