MASTERMINDS
School leadership doesn’t have to be lonely!
What is a mastermind?
This is an opportunity to join a facilitated community of school and district leaders from around the country, all of whom are working to solve the new and unique challenges facing educators. The goal is simple, the commitment is deep, the learning is profound.
Why?
Research shows that the best professional learning focuses on real practice, supports collaboration, models effective practice, provides coaching and support, offers opportunities for feedback and reflection, and is of sustained duration. A Mastermind does all of that, drawing its strength from the full participation of each member.
