Extraordinary Performance

The Leadership and Learning Center provides world-class professional development services, cutting-edge research, and innovative solutions for educators and school leaders who serve students from pre-kindergarten through college.  The Center has worked in all fifty states and every Canadian province, as well as Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, and the Middle East.  The Center works with public school systems, as well as religious and secular independent schools, charter schools, community colleges, technical schools, universities, state departments of education, national ministries of education, and international education associations.  Center Professional Development Associates are experienced superintendents, principals, administrators, and educators who provide comprehensive practices for clients in the area of standards, assessment, instruction, accountability, data analysis, and leadership.

We distinguish ourselves from other professional development and publishing organizations by bridging the critical gap from knowledge to action by ensuring real-world implementation.  Our focus is not merely to provide information, but to deliver extraordinary performance through extraordinary learning.

As global leaders in enhancing student achievement, we focus on three goals: innovation, service, and growth.  Our innovations in teaching and leadership strategies help every student succeed.  Our world-class service reflects the respect and commitment we have for every client and colleague.  Our commitment to growth means that every year we serve an increasing number of students around the world. The bottom line is that extraordinary learning empowers people and transforms lives.

The Center, founded and led by Dr. Douglas B. Reeves, continues to be a pioneer in helping increase student achievement in the most challenging schools and educational systems.  Educators around the world particularly know our work in high-poverty, high-minority schools, and our ground-breaking work in 90/90/90 schools (90% poverty, 90% minority, and 90% of students meeting or exceeding standards).
