Education Leadership Program

Intentional and balanced leadership is absolutely critical to student success. Without it, teachers, schools, and entire districts can struggle with direction. But with strong, decisive leadership in place, the possibilities are limitless.

That’s exactly why Queens University of Charlotte designed the Education Leadership Program (ELP). A collaboration of the McColl School of Business Executive Leadership Institute and the Cato School of Education, the ELP is a comprehensive suite of development programs that address the unique leadership needs of educators who are continually striving to build and sustain strong schools and districts.
