About us
Women Leading Ed is an ever-expanding national nonprofit network for women superintendents and those who aspire to land the top CEO roles in districts and states. In partnership with current and former superintendents, we’re working to grow and strengthen the pipeline of future leaders through cohort-based leadership training programs and intentional network building. Since we first began as an affinity group that brought together a core group of seasoned and aspiring women leaders, we’ve supported over 300 women (and counting) to leverage the power of peer learning and navigate the politics of leadership to achieve career growth and sustainability. https://www.womenleadinged.com/the-time-is-now

👏👏👏#WomenLeadingEd Board Member Angelica Infante-Green’s "comprehensive approach" to chronic #absenteeism is "what it takes to move the needle", has "earned praise from The White House, is a model for other states, and has received national recognition. "We're not taking our foot off the gas," Commissioner Infante-Green recently told Chalkbeat’s Kalyn Belsha #WhenWomenLead https://lnkd.in/eHVyg_gt

"I don't mind being yelled at, to me, you are not leading if people aren't upset. I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to try and do the work to make it better - particularly for people that look like me, and all of our black and brown kids." ~ Our board chair Dr. Kyla Johnson-Trammell. From the entire #WomenLeadingEd board and network: Congratulations, Kyla, for your extraordinarily well-deserved contract extension with Oakland Unified School District. You represent all that we aspire to, all that we aim to be as leaders. You live that leadership in ways both big and small.

✨✨✨Absolutely overflowing with pride and joy for my dear friend and Board Chair of Women Leading Ed, the powerhouse Kyla Johnson-Trammell. The 3-year extension of her contract by the Oakland Unified School District board last night is a full and total validation of her leadership, vision, and commitment to the students and families she serves. She is officially the longest serving superintendent in Oakland’s history and this is one of the most exceptional contract extensions ever. Every day, Kyla inspires so many, including me, with her ability to lead with power, conviction, and empathy. She is truly the embodiment of all that we stand for at Women Leading Ed. I owe so much to your friendship, Kyla. You have been there for me: side-by-side, lifting me up, believing in me, and helping to chart a course for the Women Leading Ed network–now comprising 350+ women serving more than 1 in 3 of all public school students nationwide and on track to have women in every state in the nation by the end of the year. Without you, none of this would have been possible for Women Leading Ed. But it is made possible by your singular character as a leader and friend. You give of yourself so that others grow. You stand solid in your convictions and at the same time remain open and understanding to the experience and perspectives of others. You are a role model, an inspiration, and a fearless advocate for doing better–for our students, our communities, and ourselves as #WomenLeadingEd. Thank you and congratulations. Oakland is fortunate to have you as its longest-serving leader. Women Leading Ed is indebted to you for all that you do as our board chair. And I am eternally grateful to have you as a friend and partner. I am 1000x better because you are in my life. #WatchHerRise #SOProud #WomenLeadingEd #ThisIsHowYouDoIt

This RAND study on #AI and #machinelearning projects reveals critical insights into why many such initiatives fail, underscoring the need for a strategic and informed approach in education. Which is why ILO Group developed two #AI Frameworks for state and district leaders. https://lnkd.in/eT5J-hZd As the study notes, #AI is a transformative technology–and yet over 80 percent of AI projects fail, largely due to misalignment between the technology and the problem it aims to solve. The authors of the RAND study identify several key reasons for these failures, which resonate with the challenges we see in our work with states and districts. First, misunderstanding or miscommunication of the problem that AI is supposed to address. In #K12, this often manifests as an overemphasis on adopting the latest technology without a clear understanding of how it will solve specific educational challenges. That’s exactly why our #AI Frameworks for #K12 and State Education Agencies (SEAs) are focused on bridging this gap by ensuring that the implementation of AI is driven by a deep understanding of the school's needs. Second, the lack of sufficient data to train effective #AI models. In the context of schools, this can mean inadequate data infrastructure or poor data quality, leading to ineffective AI applications. Laura Smith and I are seeing this issue come up repeatedly, particularly with regard to gender bias issues in the source data leading to problematic responses. All this to say: this is why we are clear with our partners that investing time and resources into the necessary infrastructure and data governance, can help ensure that AI models are built on robust, reliable data. And, the authors make clear, understanding both the current effective uses and limitations of #AI is crucial. Not every educational challenge is suited to an AI solution. Our Frameworks help guide system leaders in assessing the feasibility of #AI projects, ensuring that expectations are realistic and that AI is applied where it can truly make a difference. That’s #ILOImpact. This RAND study provides important lessons for those of us working to integrate AI in education. By focusing on clear problem-solving, investing in the right infrastructure, and understanding the best use cases of AI in the #K12 context, we can turn its potential into tangible benefits for schools and students alike.
