School leadership is isolating.
Cognia’s Leadership Circle offers distinct peer communities dedicated to district and school leaders.
Collaboration is better than typical sit-and-get professional development (PD). We are the connective tissue that facilitates collaboration. With us, leaders learn from one another.
You deserve pragmatic and efficient systems to engage with other leaders for support, input, and advice. Leadership Circle delivers clear, peer-tested information, in a collaborative format, that helps you with day-to-day leadership.

Lead with confidence
When you participate in Leadership Circle, you’ll immerse yourself in a community of like-minded peers who relate to the challenges you face daily.
Pose tough questions that are answered collaboratively. Surround yourself in a supportive group that energizes you. And, grow as a leader.
Don’t just take our word for it. At the inaugural Leadership Circle Summit which took place in October 2023, 50 superintendents from around the U.S. gathered for a once-in-a-lifetime event. Listen to member experiences.
Leadership Communities
As an education leader, you impact communities, teachers, and most importantly learners. Your support and professional development must align to current and future challenges.
We offer Leadership Circles dedicated to the needs of two distinct audiences: District Superintendents and their executive teams, and School Principals. The Leadership Circle focuses on a collaborative model of serving leaders based on their pressing needs. Through a program of on-demand support and interaction, we listen to what leaders are grappling with and respond by tapping into the collective wisdom of the dedicated community.
This exclusive community of K-12 superintendents AND senior team members provides an opportunity to address complicated and unique day-to-day challenges. The Superintendent Leadership Circle opens the doors to support and innovative solutions by offering interaction with peers unrestricted by your geography, creating a trusted space for professional discourse, and reducing the isolation characteristic of a superintendent’s role.
School principals face numerous day-to-day operational issues, and interact with teachers, students, parents, and local community stakeholders. This ability to communicate, plan, and problem solve time sensitive and often urgent tasks, requires the dedicated peer support available in the Principal Leadership Circle.
