For Us, By Us
Gatherings and Communities of Practice to share resources, strategies and information
NCC serves a unique role as a convening hub and as a facilitator of professional and leadership development and a nexus of partnerships, collective action, advocacy, and research. Our most effective tools to provide direct support on issues charter school leaders of color face are network events like workshops and convenings. Together, we tackle pressing issues like academic and behavioral supports, finance and operations, teacher development, innovation and fundraising.
To ensure charter school leaders of color, their schools, students and families have representation in the national education ecosystem, NCC also partners with other organizations to host events focused on policy, action agendas, political actions, etc.
