Baylor Center for School Leadership
Building Better Schools, Together
Baylor’s Center for School Leadership strives to be the most effective Christian leadership catalyst for educators worldwide.
We believe that cultivating effective leaders is the key to unlocking the potential of every student. That’s why we strive to prepare and nourish the leaders we serve, so they can, in turn, serve their students with excellence.
The BCSL Networks are learning communities dedicated to developing leaders, strengthening school conditions and improving student outcomes.
Designed as a half-day professional learning event to inspire and educate Christian school leaders in bringing joy back into their schools and classrooms through feedback, engagement, and well-being.
Join us for a day of learning and networking that focuses on catalyzing change within school leadership teams. Just Leadership is designed to bring expertise from superintendents, principals, and other instructional leaders and discuss topics such as, how to make teaching and administration inviting for the next generation, AI, cheating, smart phone use, and time management.
Join us at Catalyze, a retreat that offers your team a collaborative environment where you’ll work alongside a network of educators and the BCSL team to develop a plan of action to benefit your school.
Our programs bring together emerging Christian leaders in public and independent schools.
