Our programs

In our programs, superintendents, central office administrators, principals, assistant principals, teachers and other campus leaders engage with some of the nation's top experts in their fields from a variety of sectors, including K-12 education, academia, government and business.

Through our leadership curriculum and coaching experiences, Holdsworth takes leaders on a journey of self-reflection and skill-building to help them learn, grow and ultimately have a greater positive impact on students.

Learning sessions are held on the , a retreat-like setting that allows teams to step back from the day-to-day and see their district’s challenges and opportunities more clearly.
