National Educational Leadership Preparation (NELP)

The National Educational Leadership Preparation (NELP) program sets standards and accreditation criteria for training future educational leaders, such as school principals and administrators. Its goal is to ensure these leaders are well-prepared with the skills, knowledge, and ethical understanding necessary to improve schools and support student success. By establishing consistent quality benchmarks across leadership training programs, NELP promotes effective, equitable, and innovative educational leadership that positively impacts entire school communities.
