High-need schools require a different type of leader if they are to equitably and effectively serve their students. 

4th-Dimension Leaders (4DL), founded in 2019, sets the stage for school transformation at the decision-maker level. We define decision makers as anyone who has input in any student’s outcomes. Through a robust offering of training and development programs specific to aspiring school leaders of high-need schools, sitting leaders of high-need schools, and burgeoning leaders of equity work, we provide the foundation for transformation.

We seek to develop transformational leaders who think differently, push back against the acceptance of low proficiency rates with real action, challenge the notion that poverty is justification for failure, publicly critique historical structures and systemic forces that deny some children access to a high quality education, and decenter bureaucracy in every decision they make.
