​Abstract: How are leaders developed and nurtured as they transform the most challenging schools in Los Angeles? Using our framework for leadership we will hear the stories of four school leaders and how the leadership framework is operationalized at their school sites in order to transform school culture, create systems that continuously improve learning and make the job manageable as they continue to grow in leadership. The frame of equity, ethics, and justice is ever present at these schools and each school has structured this lens in a different way.
