Understanding Policy. Building Connections. Developing Leaders.

Education policy shapes what happens in schools every day. Our policy leadership programs bring education professionals together to learn how decisions are made, engage with policymakers and other leaders, and build relationships that broaden their perspectives and inform their work.

Each experience brings participants together with education professionals, policymakers, and experts to explore the issues shaping education and the decisions behind them.

A Legacy of Policy Leadership

Since 1975, Michigan's Education Policy Leadership Program has brought together education professionals to better understand the policies, people, and decisions shaping education.

What began as an opportunity to explore education policy in Michigan has grown to include advanced and international learning experiences. Across these programs, participants learn from policymakers, education leaders, and one another while building professional relationships that extend well beyond their time in the program.

Our alumni continue to contribute their knowledge, experience, and connections in schools, organizations, and communities across Michigan and beyond.
