Education is at a crossroads. We know the Science of Reading changed classrooms — now it’s time for the Science of Leading to change schools. In this opening episode, we introduce the Science of Leading movement and explain how implementation science gives leaders the tools to:

✅ Make better decisions

✅ Sustain change over time

✅ Improve outcomes for every student

This series is for principals, district leaders, consultants, and policy makers ready to lead with clarity, courage, and evidence. Join us — because leadership isn’t just about managing systems, it’s about transforming them.

Nearly everyone in education has heard of the science of reading.

The Science of Leading Movement is officially launched.

Implementation is a critical area often overlooked by leaders.

Taking on too many initiatives can lead to burnout.

Effective change requires understanding implementation science.

Teachers need support in applying evidence-based practices.

Leaders must practice what they preach to effect change.

The conversation about educational initiatives must start now.

We need to ground leadership in the same science we expect from teachers.
