Masterclass Overview

Masterclasses are learning opportunities that address school leaders’ needs with a lower time commitment than Professional Learning Communities. Since 2022, hundreds of principals and aspiring principals have participated in these sessions that are led by expert principals, building skills in areas such as scheduling, budgeting, staffing, and family and community engagement. In 2025-26, offerings also include AI-focused Masterclasses, in partnership with LEAP Innovations, which introduce leaders to the practical applications of emerging tools in school settings. Masterclasses offer flexible entry points for leaders who are new to The Fund, seeking targeted support, or reengaging in professional learning throughout the year.

Outcomes 

  • Improved leadership practices that you can implement in your school.
  • A stronger professional network to give you ongoing support.

Who Should Apply?

Any public school principal or aspiring principal in Chicago who wants to grow as a school leader.

 

“I believe that the next wave of new principals should have access to the same skills and tools that have helped me succeed in my career.”
