The Latest from the Collaborative
Previous and upcoming events for network participants.
Upcoming: On March 22nd, we will hear from Gene Pinkard, the Director of Practice and Leadership at the Aspen Institute. An educator and leader, Pinkard leads the Aspen Education urban district networks, supporting superintendents, chief academic officers, and other leaders as they deepen learning and refine improvement strategies.
Previously: On January 20th, the Collaborative heard from Vicki Phillips, CEO of NCEE. Driven by a fierce determination to help all students realize their dreams, Dr. Vicki Phillips has championed students’ rights to a high-quality education as a teacher, superintendent of schools, state-level policymaker, nonprofit leader, and K-12 education director for the world’s largest foundation.
The convening will focused on a discussion around our guiding question for the year: how leaders like yourselves can understand schooling through the eyes of students.

Services
The annual professional learning fee includes access to a myriad of services including:
Large Group Forums
Bi-monthly, Large Group Forums give leaders the opportunity to learn from and speak directly with some of the leading minds in education both nationally and internationally on issues selected by participants.
Small Network Groups
These are regular meetings with a consistent set of role-alike colleagues focused on similar areas of system design. Participants learn and discuss a shared topic as a group before breaking into smaller cohorts of trusted peers to plan, implement and discuss challenges and successes toward implementation of self-selected goals.

This annual gathering is designed for participants to collaborate face-to-face with fellow Collaborative leaders. The Annual Retreat provides a safe and welcoming environment for leaders to delve deeply into research and leadership practices to address the challenges in their schools and districts.
