Here’s what past participants have shared about their experience: “The institute filled my bucket. The scope and design of activities were perfect—intentional, thoughtful, and engaging. I was reminded of the importance of collaboratively developing a vision and fostering a culture of feedback and ideation. This work is hard but so rewarding. Thank you for the encouragement!” “The facilitators created a welcoming and empowering environment, even for an introvert like me. I appreciated the hands-on work geared toward my context, like the impact/effort matrix and protocols. These tools have me thinking about how to advocate for meaningful adult learning that allows teachers to be creative and own their learning.” “The balance of input and output was perfect. The activities, like the impact/effort matrix and protocols, helped me reflect deeply on my own leadership and what’s possible in my context. I feel more empowered, and I’m eager to take this work back to my team to create real change.”
