Balanced+Leadership

The Balanced Leadership Academy (BLA) is a leadership development program provided by the University of South Dakota, School Administrators of SD, and SD Department of Education. Working with McRel’s expert trainers, BLA combines leading-edge research on school leadership that impacts student achievement. The program combines proven research with practical applications for school leaders. The BLA is a series of four professional development sessions that help practitioners learn and apply the leadership responsibilities and practices identified in McRel’s research. The McRel framework focuses on school leadership that provides School Administrators with the skills of knowing **what** to do, **how** to do it, **why** it is important, and **when** to provide effective leadership.
