Recognizing a Talent for Leadership

The Center for Educational Leadership at Cleveland State University was established in February 2008 to develop and sustain inspired leaders for today’s schools. The Center creates and provides relevant and innovative leadership development and licensure programs for educators in the Cleveland Metropolitan area, the state of Ohio, and across the country. The Center aims to recruit and select educators who have the motivation and talent to make systemic change in their schools and organizations. Today’s schools present their leaders with challenges unlike those of the past.
