Sixth Cohort of Human Capital Leaders Tackle Talent Management at Leading Education Organizations


WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Twenty-four talented professionals are participating in the Winter 2019-2020 Emerging Human Capital Leaders Initiative (EHCLI). The sixth cohort chosen to participate in this selective program are people- and student-focused leaders who work to change the way schools recruit and retain talent on behalf of the nation's highest-need students.

This 10-month program is a partnership between Education Pioneers (EP) and the Urban Schools Human Capital Academy (USHCA) that provides participants with the skills, resources, and network to accelerate their work to ensure that every student has a great team of people ? teachers, principals, and central office administrators ? who support them. Participants are in senior-level human capital roles within their organizations, or are a step or two away from being in these roles. Programming began in Winter 2019 in Washington DC, and will culminate in Denver in April 2020.

"Students deserve K-12 school systems that deliver on the great promise of a high quality public education for all. Some of the most influential roles in K-12 sit in human capital ? the function responsible for finding and supporting millions of professionals nationwide who fuel classrooms, schools, districts, and beyond," said Melissa Wu, Education Pioneers' Chief Executive Officer. "We are grateful to partner with USHCA to develop high impact human capital leaders who can support an evolution from a focus on compliance to a focus on strategic alignment."

EHCLI fosters a robust national network of human capital leaders working across the country at school districts, charter management organizations, state education agencies, and nonprofits serving under-resourced students. The Winter 2019-2020 cohort joins the first five cohorts, totalling nearly 170 human capital professionals who are part of the EHCLI network.

"Human capital leaders are uniquely positioned to redefine and redesign how schools, districts, and education agencies can proactively attract, develop, and retain the most effective teachers and principals," said Danielle Pickens, Chief Program Officer at the Urban Schools Human Capital Academy. "The ideas and collaborations that arise from meaningful conversations about human capital trends and challenges in education have the potential to transform how we serve students."

The 24 emerging human capital leaders who will complete the program in 2020 include:

Participants learn from experts and from one another to collectively enhance their effectiveness in their current roles, and to strengthen the pipeline of talented leaders ready and interested to take on human capital leadership roles in public school systems.
