In partnership with the Laboratory for Student Success (LSS), IEL supports The School Leadership Learning Community (SLLC). This project is a network of twenty-four (24) institutions and organizations across the country that were awared School Leadership Grants from the U.S. Department of Education to support the development of school leaders who could be successful in low-performing schools. The awardees include school systems, colleges and universities, not-for profit organizations, working collaboratively to conduct an array of training activities and leadership development opportunities for current principals and assistant principals, and aspiring principals. Funds to support the learning community, which IEL designed and implemented, were provided by the DOE Office of Innovation and Improvement.

IEL's work through the SLLC is to provide the awardees with opportunities to

• Share their respective work,
• Engage in cross-site communication and dialogues, and
• Exchange strategies, promising practices, and lessons learned.
