Teacher Leader Academy (Naples, FL) 07.13.09 - 07.16.09
The Teacher Leader Academy provides a special experience designed to develop leaders and build leadership capacity within teachers who have demonstrated commitment and a willingness to make a contribution toward the transformation of their school or district to a learning organization. Participants will have an opportunity to network with other teacher leaders in the same unique position.
What will participants learn?
Participants will gain clarity about specific contributions they will make as leaders in their current roles, leading students to be successful, designing work for students, and contributing to the transformation of their schools and districts to learning organizations. They will come to view themselves as leaders and will feel confident and competent to take on the role of leader in their classrooms and in their organizations.
What will participants produce?
Participants will produce a personal vision statement and a plan to act on that statement that is consistent with their district’s beliefs and vision.

This academy is open to teachers who have demonstrated leadership at their schools or districts or both and who have attended a Working on the Work Conference, either nationally or locally.

Testimonials
All students deserve to learn, and it is our job as educators to reach and meet the needs of all students – not just the 30 percent there to learn. Finally, I am part of a district that is fostering such a vision and mission! Finally, there is a center for educational reform (The Schlechty Center) out there reaching and teaching districts and schoolhouses across the nation and inspiring such a vision and mission!
The WOW Conference was incredible. I came away with a deeper understanding of the framework and have already implemented the "systems" thinking resources into our Central Office staff meetings.
Thank you for the ideas and the motivation. I always learn so much when I'm with you...even things I didn't expect.
