For Educators, By Educators: Shaping Support for Lasting Change
What do educators need to lead sustainable, learner-centered change? Lead for Learners begins with listening.
Through years of working alongside educators, schools and districts, KnowledgeWorks has heard a consistent need for practical leadership tools, opportunities to learn with peers and support that connects professional growth to everyday challenges.
Lead for Learners brings those needs into the design of its resources, professional learning and national community. Educators help identify priorities and shape solutions they need.
Educator experience guides the work
The Lead for Learners steering committee brings together educators from diverse learning communities across the country. Working alongside KnowledgeWorks, members identify shared challenges, set priorities and help design resources and learning experiences for current and emerging leaders.
Their involvement keeps the network grounded in the realities of classrooms, schools and districts.
