Looking for a smarter way to support your team’s learning? Paced, focused learning days create clarity, consistency, and momentum without the overload. lead4ward academies are in-depth professional learning experiences designed to build essential leadership and instructional skills over time. Rather than one-and-done workshops, academies unfold across several days throughout the school year, giving teams the space to learn deeply, apply strategies, and grow together.

 

Academy participants:

  • Engage deeply with priority instructional and leadership content
  • Practice high-leverage strategies that strengthen planning, teaching, and learning 
  • Collaborate with peers to refine practices and problem-solve real challenges 
  • Receive ongoing support (often including virtual follow-up, coaching, or guided application)
  • Build systems and routines that help new learning stick over time 

 

By combining deep content, actionable tools, and sustained support, lead4ward academies turn professional learning into lasting change, helping educators lead with confidence and improve outcomes for students.
