The members of the team met through the International School Leadership Program supported by EARCOS and taught by professors from Washington State University and the University of San Francisco.

This program is a 4 semester, 2 year course that is a combination of online learning and classroom work.  Cohorts begin either Fall or Winter/Spring semester.  The students complete online coursework, reading, and internships at their school during the semester.  The students also attend one week of classes in conjunction with the Fall EARCOS Leadership conference and the Spring EARCOS Teachers conference.  All of the students are teachers, teacher leaders, or leaders in their schools and bring their own knowledge and wealth of experience to the program.   The professors are experienced educators and leaders.

Upon completion of the program, students receive an administrative credential from Washington State.  Students have the option of completing an additional three credit thesis or project to earn a Masters in Organizational Leadership through the University of San Francisco.
