The Bright initiative is a unique partnership between the Fisher College of Business and the College of Education and Human Ecology at The Ohio State University.
Our mission is to provide leaders in K-12 education with unparalleled training from a distinct perspective.
BRIGHT is a fresh, bold effort to provide leaders in K-12 education with exceptional training. We believe high-performing, successful schools start with exceptional leaders, who then hire and develop exceptional teachers, who foster learning environments for students to increase positive student access, opportunity, and outcomes. Great leaders drive great schools.
Our leadership development programs are a paradigm shift from traditional training models. We are a unique partnership between the Fisher College of Business and the College of Education and Human Ecology at The Ohio State University. Because of this distinct collaboration, our approach to K-12 leadership training is innovative, diverse, and without equal.
The Story of the Bright Initiative
Bright grew out of breakthrough research which examined what separates high performing, high-poverty schools from low-performing, high-poverty schools. From there we have graduated two cohorts of exceptional leaders with more than half still in the field long after their 3-year commitment.
Now we prepare to launch our 3rd cohort of transformational leaders to improve outcomes for kids in Ohio.
The BRIGHT Fellowship
The BRIGHT Fellowship is an innovative effort to recruit and train proven leaders from varied professions and place them where our best and brightest are most needed — in underserved public schools struggling with low achievement.
