| Education Initiative Developed by Rice University to Transform Houston School Leadership in K-12 |
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rice University’s Jones Graduate School of Management is in alliance with Houston educational organizations in a compelling new program designed to equip principals in K-12 schools with exceptional leadership skills and business acumen. A goal of the initiative is to dramatically change and improve the academic performance of students throughout the community, particularly in underserved schools. The program as designed, is unique not only in Houston, but throughout the US. |
