Policy Leadership Academy

The Voice4Equity Policy Leadership Academy empowers educational leaders to transform policy into meaningful and durable change. Led by experienced superintendents and grounded in the Culturally Responsive Policy Ecosystem™ framework, our academies combine rigorous learning with practical application, allowing leaders to immediately apply their insights to real-world challenges. Our program equips leaders with the strategies and support to move from policy development to sustained, equitable outcomes for all students.

Advance your knowledge and skills related to educational leadership.

Voice4Equity’s Policy Leadership Academy offers multiple program offerings for women interested in advancing their knowledge and skills related to educational leadership.

We remain engaged with the women in the Academy through capacity-building support and training focused on policy leadership and equity policy planning. To this end, we utilize the Culturally Responsive Policy Ecosystem™.

The Policy Leadership Academy supports women leaders via:

  • A cross-national network
  • The promotion of shared strategies and ideas
  • Engaging participants in discussions regarding current challenges and opportunities related to the development of an equity agenda
  • Shared solutions to meet the learning needs of every student, particularly those from historically marginalized communities

Dr. Gloria E. Ciriza describes how the Voice4Equity Women Superintendents’ Policy Leadership Academy prepared her to lead as the Superintendent in San Diego County.
