Leaders in educator preparation play a critical role in equipping the next generation of teachers to deliver rigorous, affirming instruction so that every student is empowered to succeed. Rising to this challenge calls on leaders from across the field to consider what it takes to transform teacher preparation – and that’s where Impact Academy comes in.
The Impact Academy is a year-long fellowship – and career-long network – that convenes outstanding deans and directors of educator-preparation programs and provides them with the support and resources to foster real and lasting change within their programs.
Fellows engage in a rich, cohort-based experience with the following features:
- In-person and virtual learning sessions designed to build shared understanding of leadership and organizational change theory and apply these theories to real-world decision making
- 1:1 coaching from seasoned leaders
- Opportunities to analyze a broad set of case studies, all written by and for Impact Academy fellows
- Peer consultancies to address field-facing challenges in real time
