This year, 75 principals trained at the newly created Leadership
Academy - a centerpiece of education reform and then - took over schools
throughout New York City. The creators of this documentary spent 15 months
following three principals through a rigorous year of training, and then
as they took over their own schools. This one-hour documentary report
examines the process that New York City hopes will create a top-down transformation
of failing schools. This leadership approach is being tried in many parts
of the country, and has broad appeal to educators nationally.
