Baylor Center for School Leadership
Building Better Schools, Together
Baylor’s Center for School Leadership strives to be the most effective Christian leadership catalyst for educators worldwide.
We believe that cultivating effective leaders is the key to unlocking the potential of each student. That’s why we strive to prepare and nourish the leaders we serve, so they can, in turn, serve their students with excellence.
The BCSL Networks are learning communities dedicated to developing leaders, strengthening school conditions and improving student outcomes.
Designed as a half-day professional learning event to inspire and educate Christian school leaders in bringing joy back into their schools and classrooms through feedback, engagement, and well-being.
Join us at Catalyze, a retreat that offers your team a collaborative environment where you’ll work alongside a network of educators and the BCSL team to develop a plan of action to benefit your school.
Our programs bring together emerging Christian leaders in public and independent schools.

Each fall semester, I take our Organizational Leadership course, which consists of Ph.D. and Ed.D. students spanning multiple leadership programs, to the Baylor Community Gardens to gain insights on stewardship. Environmental Humanities Program Director Dr. Josh King graciously spends time with our cohort on a Saturday morning to share insights about the flora and fauna that comprise this living, learning classroom.
Convocations for Ingram and Kerrville ISD looked a little different this year after the Guadalupe River and flooding altered the landscape of these communities and their schools for the second year in a row. In Ingram ISD, all three campuses and 12 district buildings sustained damage that required fixing before school welcomed the students on August 12. Students and educators at Kerrville ISD continue to clean up homes and replace personal items as the school year begins. Despite the repairs still underway in their schools and communities, educators gathered for convocation to welcome a new school year and the hard work of rebuilding together.
