Fredrika Smith: LEDEing the way

Seven executives in the Monroe School District are graduates of the Leadership Development for Educators (LEDE) program, which IAS alum Fredrika Smith (’94) helped establish. The program’s influence on Monroe is due in large part to Smith, who was superintendent from 2015 until this year. Smith helped found the LEDE program and still serves as an instructor and one of the University’s contacts in a network of professional administrators.
