Essential Leadership Practices for Thriving Youth
Leading with clarity, connection, and impact
Creating educational systems where all young people can thrive requires more than good intentions—it takes intentional leadership to navigate complexity with skill and heart. Every young person deserves a learning environment where they are seen, valued, and prepared to contribute and succeed in a dynamic, diverse world.
Join the National Equity Project for a dynamic 60-minute webinar to learn how to start the school year by leading with intention, building meaningful relationships, and taking strategic action that creates lasting change for the students and families you serve.
This webinar introduces the essential leadership practices to make that vision a reality in your context, grounded in NEP’s Leading for Equity Framework – a leadership framework that represents 30+ years of research and practice in equity, complexity science, and design thinking.
Start the school year with intention by focusing on what matters most:
Cultivating deep self-awareness and systems thinking to see patterns of inequity
Building trust across difference and elevating diverse voices — especially young people
Fostering collective agency for innovation and problem-solving
Taking strategic actions with youth and families for sustainable change
Setting clear goals while staying responsive to emerging needs
Who should attend: Superintendents, principals, district administrators, department heads, and education leaders at all levels who are committed to creating the conditions for youth to thrive — and ready to strengthen their leadership practice.
This webinar is part of the National Equity Project’s Leadership That Meets the Moment webinar series, supporting education leaders to navigate today’s pressing challenges with strategic clarity and care for young people and families.
