Leadership Development

The leadership development programs offered by the Professional Services division are a unique feature of the Smithsonian Science Education Center’s (SSEC)work. Leadership development serves education leaders across all levels of a school system including school and district-level administrators, teacher leaders, government officials, parents, community organizations, local businesses, and more.


Every school system’s context is unique. Consequently, leadership development at the SSEC provides leaders with the time and framework to construct a plan for their own school system.
