Leading Educators

As school systems navigate a time of rapid change, how we support future-ready improvement in teaching and learning must evolve, too.

We’re excited to share that Karolyn Belcher has been named President of Leading Educators.

This new role reflects an important step forward for our organization. As our work grows in scale and complexity, we’re strengthening how we deliver—so we can support school systems to continuously improve while building for what comes next.

Karolyn will lead ex*****on across our programs, growth strategy, and operations, helping ensure our partnerships are coherent, aligned, and built for lasting impact. She shared this perspective on stepping into the role:

“What inspires me most about this role is the opportunity to deepen our partnerships with school systems at a time when the work feels both more complex and more important than ever. I believe deeply in the power of educators—and in the importance of building systems that support them consistently and coherently. I’m excited to continue working alongside our partners to strengthen teaching, support leaders, and expand what is possible for every student.”
