Collaboratives are back.
Join colleagues from across the city to get better together for the children we all serve.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: We kick off Oct. 1 with our first School Leaders Collaborative of the year!
Collaboratives are regularly occurring communities of practice that come together for professional development and networking.
Together, participants create a cross-sector community for Milwaukee school leaders and other education professionals to share challenges and successes, and get better together for the students they serve. Attendees leave each Collaborative with practical tools they can begin using that same day.
SCHOOL LEADERS COLLABORATIVE
Our flagship Collaborative for Principals, Deans, Instructional Leaders, and other school leaders will help you learn, grow, and gain resources as you work to improve school culture, student attendance, classroom instruction, teacher retention, and more!
This year, School Leaders Collaborative will again be offered as two sessions -- morning and afternoon -- for your convenience. Sessions will be held bi-monthly, and will regularly feature national experts.
Register now for our first Collaborative on October 1!
Topic: Equity
Leaders will build capacity around equity and design work in school leadership, and understand opportunities for improvement.
Details: 9-11 am or 1:30-3:30 pm on Tuesday, Oct. 1
Facilitator: Caroline Hill
Caroline is a national thought leader who lives, works, and designs at the intersection of education, innovation, and equity. Her work inspired the creation of equityXdesign, a powerful framework that merges the values of equity work and innovation with the intentionality of design. Her latest venture, 228 Accelerator, catalyzes the redesign of the relationships that normalize mistreatment and oppression, builds bridges between the powerful and the powerless, and accelerates our journey to a more inclusive society. Caroline’s work is rooted in more than 20 years of experience in public education, education innovation, management consulting, and engineering.
