The Center for Model Schools, formerly the International Center for Leadership in Education, is dedicated to ensuring that every student attends a model school. Leaders from the classroom to the boardroom can partner with us for shoulder-to-shoulder support to make this happen. Hear school and district administrators describe what they love most about working with Center for Model Schools consultants.
Leadership services is a collaborative partnership with a personalized approach to achieving goals. This includes shared learning experiences, job embedded coaching, observational feedback, and guided planning. The Center provides both in-person and online support to maximize flexibility and growth.
We deliver the 5Essentials® survey and professional learning to schools nationwide through our exclusive partnership with UChicago Impact®. The 5Essentials is an evidence-based diagnostic survey that provides actionable data and insight into how well a school is organized for improvement.
Transformation in education is achieved through purposeful, consistent actions, driven by a clear vision of what’s best for students. At the Model Schools Conference, we showcase districts, schools, and educators who have achieved success, leading the way to replicable results.
Our coach continues to challenge my thinking every time she comes. I can see my growth as a leader throughout this year, and I attribute a lot of that growth to this coaching.
Join us for our 33rd year of connecting student-focused educators at the Model Schools Conference (MSC), June 22–25, 2025, in Washington DC. Share strategies, learn from thought-provoking industry leaders, and reflect on personal and professional growth.

The Center for Model Schools, formerly the International Center for Leadership in Education, is dedicated to ensuring that every student attends a model school. Leaders from the classroom to the boardroom can partner with us for shoulder-to-shoulder support to make this happen. Hear school and district administrators describe what they love most about working with Center for Model Schools consultants.
Leadership services is a collaborative partnership with a personalized approach to achieving goals. This includes shared learning experiences, job embedded coaching, observational feedback, and guided planning. The Center provides both in-person and online support to maximize flexibility and growth.
We deliver the 5Essentials® survey and professional learning to schools nationwide through our exclusive partnership with UChicago Impact®. The 5Essentials is an evidence-based diagnostic survey that provides actionable data and insight into how well a school is organized for improvement.
Transformation in education is achieved through purposeful, consistent actions, driven by a clear vision of what’s best for students. At the Model Schools Conference, we showcase districts, schools, and educators who have achieved success, leading the way to replicable results.
Our coach continues to challenge my thinking every time she comes. I can see my growth as a leader throughout this year, and I attribute a lot of that growth to this coaching.
