What is the Rural School Leadership Academy?
The quality of school that a child attends often predicts the likelihood of that child succeeding in life. An excellent school ensures that no matter how students arrive at its doors, they emerge from the school globally competitive and as thoughtful, caring people prepared to shape their own pathways in life.
These schools also prove that excellence is possible for all children, and in doing so pressure the broader system to provide an excellent education to all students. Thus, in order to achieve educational equity, we simply must have more transformational schools and these schools only exist with strong school leaders.
In our rural regions, the demand for talented, enthusiastic individuals to lead schools remains high. To respond to this need and maximize the leadership potential of our alumni, Teach For America has created the Rural School Leadership Academy (RSLA) to support alumni on the pathway to school leadership positions in our rural regions: Alabama, Appalachia, Eastern North Carolina, Greater New Orleans (Louisiana Delta), Hawai’i, Mississippi, Arkansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Rio Grande Valley, South Carolina, South Dakota, South Louisiana, Washington, and other parts of the U.S. considered rural.
