Content Leaders are local educators who have the knowledge, skills, and concrete resources to provide high-quality, content-rich, and curriculum specific professional development to new and current teachers in their district.
The Content Leader role is also an important step in the leadership pipeline for talented local educators.

Though most school systems across Louisiana have made great strides in increasing the quality of instructional materials used in classrooms, very few teachers report having access to high-quality, ongoing professional development that helps them navigate and use their curriculum effectively.
Goal: Create Leadership Pathways for Talented Local Educators
The teaching profession remains relatively flat with a dearth of leadership opportunities between classroom teaching and principalships. For some educators who want to remain in the classroom, this can mean limited options to grow and take on additional responsibility. In turn, educators who do wish to become principals don’t always have the opportunity to build the necessary knowledge and skill in a scaffolded way over time.
