Now entering the summer of big thinking—the perfect time for collaboration, growth, and transformative planning.

This month, students are embarking on summer adventures after bells ring for the last time this school year.?With another year behind them and a few out-of-classroom months ahead, teachers and school leaders are using this moment to invest in their own planning and growth before the new SY2024-2025 hits. ?

It’s the perfect time for big thinking—and you don’t need to do it alone.?

Transformative ideas—about professional development, schooling models, or districtwide practices—are borne out of collaboration. And we’re invested in creating connective spaces for cutting-edge ideas: We’ve developed a host of cohorts and convenings to help you share learnings, develop new skills, and build relationships with like-minded leaders and educators from districts across the country.?

Join one of our networks or retreats to start the summer off right—and get ready for a transformed 2024-25 school year.?
