The Instructional Leadership Fellowship (ILF) works with school leaders to improve instructional practices that ensure equitable academic outcomes.
By engaging small and diverse cohorts, ILF improves the skill and capacity of instructional leadership, ultimately improving student learning and outcomes.
The selection process for Cohort 4 will begin in early 2025.
What to Expect
- Top-notch professional development towards instructional excellence
- Content and skill-building practice for the application of critical instructional concepts
- Cohort experience with educators from across St. Louis
- Stipend for fellows
- Monthly in-person and independent effort expected
- Fellows in good standing will participate in Excellent School Visits outside of St. Louis
This has been the highest quality professional development I’ve ever had access to in my entire career.

Instructional Leadership Bootcamps
In addition to the full Fellowship, we host bootcamps designed to provide instructional leaders with the technical and inspirational leadership skills that they can immediately apply in their work. Each Bootcamp is organized around a topic and is broken down into two to three days of in-person and virtual content, facilitated by experts in the field. Participants benefit from multiple rounds of preparation and practice of newly learned skills, with real-time feedback from peers and the facilitators. Facilitators also model that educator development is just as data-driven as instruction by adapting each Bootcamp to the leadership development needs of the participants.
