Introducing Next Year's Driving Question This next year, the driving question that will be driving our team's work and cohort learning opportunities is, "How might we increase opportunities for student agency in and beyond school?" With this driving question, we are also introducing new series of blended and personalized learning coaching tools to driving teacher and leader training moving forward, progressions! If you haven't have had a chance to learn more about the progressions yet, please plan to view the video below to learn more about this shift and how this might influence your back-to-school PD or BL/PL coaching moving forward. FEEDBACK NEEDED [DUE June 18th] Before we launch the new Blended and Personalized Learning Coaching Progressions with central staff, campus teams, and teachers specifically during PL Workout Week- we need your feedback. Please plan to spend ~15-20 minutes review the coaching progressions and leave any comments, concerns, or feedback directly in the following documents via Google Comments no later than Friday, June 18th. We'll respond to feedback at the end of June and will publish all final documents in July.

Register here!  Principal Opportunity Compass-in-Leadership Cohort from Valor Collegiate This opportunity is designed for principals and comes from our friends at Valor Collegiate. The school is well known for strong SEL practices integrated throughout the day for both students and staff. Our goal with the leadership cohort is to combat the isolation school leaders often feel in their roles while supporting their own adaptive growth, believing that this investment will infuse our schools with leaders who are centered, balanced, and sustained in their incredibly complex roles. Over the course of the two-year cohort, school leaders will be encouraged to challenge their limiting beliefs + mindsets, they’ll learn to manage the cycles of toxic stress that often lead to burnout and a short leadership tenure, and will be engaging in relationship development with a group of like-minded leaders from across the country. Learn more and apply by checking on the Compass-in-Leadership Program Overview. If you have any questions about this opportunity, reach out to Kristen at [email protected]. And, if you apply- let Kristen know!
