The UCLA Educational Leadership Program (ELP) is committed to promoting innovative and change-oriented educational leaders. We fully embrace the public service mission of UCLA as a leading public research university and the social justice vision of the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies. Our program combines a commitment to urban leadership development and creating equitable and accessible PreK-16 opportunities. We strive for student-focused teaching and learning centered around racial equity and cultural competence.
 

ELP brings together mid-career professionals from the PK-16 educational pipeline: K-12, CC, 4-year, non-profits/informal spaces. This unique model positions leaders to broaden their understandings of the educational trajectory to deepen impact within respective organizations and beyond. ELP is guided by a nationally acclaimed faculty who not only develop theory but also work in the multicultural urban settings close to UCLA. ELP Adjunct and Clinical Faculty ensure the meaningful intersection of research and practice.
