The Leadership Academy is the third stage of the Colorado School Mental Health Leadership Academy, following the Shared Core and the profession-specific pathways. Its focus shifts from "How do I do my role well?" to "How do I lead, influence, and strengthen school mental health systems?", and it defines leadership as influence, systems improvement, and capacity-building rather than a job title. Across ten proposed modules, participants would explore systems thinking, comprehensive school mental health within MTSS, data-driven change, influence without authority, relationship-based and adaptive leadership, consultation and coaching, and sustainable workforce well-being. The planned format blends asynchronous content with live discussions, case consultation, and peer problem-solving, and it replaces separate module tasks with one authentic Problem of Practice that participants carry through the Academy and present as an applied leadership project.
