Developing dynamic, proactive leaders is critical to the success of the 21st century adult education system. 

AIR and the National Association of State Directors of Adult Education (NASDAE) have partnered to offer the Leadership Excellence and Development Institute for Adult Educators (LEAD Institute), a high-quality, evidence-based leadership training. 

Designed for state cohorts of veteran, new, and aspiring adult education leaders, the LEAD Institute’s training topics include:

• Developing durable and transformational leadership skills that respond to current issues and challenges;
• Aligning with the WIOA workforce system and advancing career pathway partnerships with workforce, industry, postsecondary and community partners;
• Using data for strategic planning and continuous improvement;
• Building student success practices in contemporary economic, educational,  and social conditions; and
• Leading and teaching effectively at a distance.

The 8-month LEAD Institute is available to all Adult Education and Family Literacy Act states and territories and can be delivered fully virtually or in a hybrid format.
