Creating Principals as Social Entrepreneurs:

Vision and Mission Leadership is an essential ingredient for ensuring that all of Louisiana’s children receive the education they need to succeed. Redesigning Lessons, Re-envisioning Principals (RLRP) was designed in collaboration with the LSU College of Education and the E.J. Ourso College of Business. Creating leaders who possess the courage and skills to change school cultures is our vision.
