5. Process | Leadership Public Schools
Leadership Public Schools is on a
mission to address the most
challenging issues in urban high
school education. We have
deliberately structured ourselves as
an R & D organization focused on
developing a range of technology-
enhanced instructional and data
tools and innovation processes that
are replicable and cost effective for
both charter and traditional schools.
All of our products and processes
begin from a collaborative, iterative
design process and move through the
prototype, alpha and beta phases
with many feedback points based on
qualitative and quantitative data
from key stakeholders – the teachers
and students.
