Instructional Leadership Bootcamps
In addition to the full Fellowship, we host bootcamps designed to provide instructional leaders with the technical and inspirational leadership skills that they can immediately apply in their work. Each Bootcamp is organized around a topic and is broken down into two to three days of in-person and virtual content, facilitated by experts in the field. Participants benefit from multiple rounds of preparation and practice of newly learned skills, with real-time feedback from peers and the facilitators. Facilitators also model that educator development is just as data-driven as instruction by adapting each Bootcamp to the leadership development needs of the participants.
