What sets PRN grads apart?
PRN Graduates share a vision of what vibrant, student-centered schools look, sound, and feel like for all learners. During their residency, they engage in job-embedded leadership to move their schools toward that vision. They build relationships, facilitate adult learning, and plan for lasting improvement. Drawing on research-based practices, they lead improvement cycles that address barriers to opportunity and drive measurable gains in student outcomes.
