Education Leadership and Governance Program
Leadership. Innovation. Impact.
Embedded Files
Mayors and governors struggle to ensure that education systems in their communities are cultivating human talent for the next 50 years. In a globalizing education sector, agile schools and education sectors will thrive and less flexible ones become obsolete sooner.
Legacy systems and deeply entrenched cultures hinder change efforts. The result is often incremental improvements, instead of school and system transformation.
Inspired by the Accelerator Program approach at Harvard University's GovLab, this program LGU and school leaders in the leadership work at the board room as well as the through structures, cultures, mindsets, and classrooms.
Objectives:
enable education leaders and LGUs to introduce new mindsets and structures to catalyze change within legacy academic ecosystems
accelerate transformation through student- and faculty-driven, community-engaged scholarship through the town-and-gown approach
empower key actors within the LGU and academe to collaborate and generate leverage through domestic and transnational alliances
By providing third-party institutional structures such as the Education Impact Lab, Bridging Leadership Institute, faculty/student/LGU fellowships, the Education Leadership and Governance Program (ELGP) provides multiple parallel institutional vehicles for change, rather than depending solely on change driven by one or two units.

Snowflake Structures
Snowflake Structures
Academic structures are usually siloed and rigid, owing to disciplinary boundaries, faculty tenure, seniority, office politics, etc. By organizing multiple small work teams connected like a snowflake, an additional capacity for complex innovation work can be unleashed. Otherwise, this human capital remains dormant and trapped inside hierarchical structures.

Co-creation/Innovation Labs
Co-creation/Innovation Labs
Every semester, students collectively devote tens of thousands of hours to academic projects. Sadly, these projects are not oriented toward solving real-world problems in the communities where students live. Co-creation labs engage students and faculty in solution-generation, as they learn the content that they need to memorize for the board exams. Learning and synthesis occur as students see themselves and their academic projects as relevant to community advancement.
