WHO WE ARE

OUR APPROACH

Chiefs for Change offers leaders unique
supports and opportunities

The chief executive officers of our nation’s state departments of education and city school districts have enormous influence over the future of learning in America. If we are going to ask them to be transformational leaders and expect them to sustain their tenures beyond the national average; if we are to expect their best policies and practices to spread beyond the boundaries of their own systems; then these leaders need the robust support of each other and of Chiefs for Change.

"Doing the right thing usually makes good political sense. The best education policies and practices cut across party lines and enjoy broad support from the public. Our members see the big picture, and that makes their differences of opinion a strength."   Mike Magee, Ph.D. CEO, Chiefs for Change

Our Vision

Every public school prepares students for today’s world and tomorrow’s.

Our Mission

Build a diverse community of state and local education Chiefs dedicated to our shared vision and support them in ways that maximize the success of their efforts.
