Are the leaders of successful high-poverty and high-minority schools superheroes? If so, we can safely ignore them — after all, who really aspires to be Superman or Wonder Woman? Instead, maybe these principals know some things and do some things that the rest of us need to understand and emulate.

This fascinating series of six, one-hour webinars is made possible through generous support from the Wallace Foundation, allowing the Education Trust to offer it to the public at no charge. The free series starts Thursday, Oct. 20, 4 p.m., and continues through March 2012.
