Empowering Leaders for Transformational Change

“It is my privilege to recommend Daniel Kelley. I have known Dan for the past ten years as a national colleague in education. During that time, he has demonstrated inspiring leadership, not only in his many years as a high school principal but also in his connection, collaboration, and coaching with other school leaders. He is an experienced teacher and mentor of the principalship as demonstrated in his work with aspiring and new leaders through the Rhode Island Instructional Leadership Academy, as well as his service through the National Association of Secondary School Principals. If you are looking for perspective and strategy from someone with a proven track record in education leadership, you will not be disappointed with Daniel Kelley.”

“Our relationship began 17 years ago when I was an undergraduate in college and has continued to this day. His passion to lead and motivate his students as well as his teachers has made Dan one of the very best in his profession. Dan continues to be a role model and mentor to me as I embark on my new journey as a school administrator. I highly recommend Dan as a mentor/coach for new principals and veterans who want to take their craft to the next level!”

“I learned a lot from Dan while serving as his assistant principal – that we always have to seek ways to improve, and that those ways already exist if we stay open to discovering them. Dan taught me to reach beyond the boundaries of my school and district to engage in constant discovery and learning. That practice made me the leader I am today.”

“Dan brings a fresh insight to every conversation about education.  His ability to cultivate relationships and drive new ideas make him an effective president of the NASSP Board of DIrectors.  But more important, they make him a progressive and driven school leader.”
