Proven Leadership

With decades of experience in a variety of educational settings, the SEZP leadership team works tirelessly to improve student outcomes in the Zone.

These passionate professionals collaborate with a range of SEZP stakeholders — from students and teachers to principals and policymakers — to carry out three organizational priorities identified by the Zone’s board:

Line bracket

1

Support to Schools

Ensure SEZP schools receive high-quality, differentiated support, empowering leaders and educators with the knowledge and skills to thrive in an autonomous school environment.

2

Effective Foundations

Ensure SEZP schools operate in a policy and working environment that enables true empowerment, including reducing standardized policies and bureaucratic hurdles that prevent school-based decisions and ensuring strong partnerships across all stakeholder groups.

3

Configure for Success

Ensure SEZP stakeholders agree on shared performance standards for operating an SEZP school, including holding individuals at all levels accountable for these shared standards and re-configuring schools as necessary.
