THE ACCELERATE MEMBERSHIP

Professional learning to build the next generation of school leaders

School leaders must be effective people managers, instructional leaders, and culture creators who are also well-versed in crisis and change management. However, far too often as leaders move from teachers to assistant principals and assistant principals to principals, they are not given the management skills and tools they need to be successful – and increase student success.

The content and support Accelerate Members receive are specifically designed to address common problems faced by individuals or teams who are new to their roles. Being an Accelerate Member allows you to quickly level up leadership and management skills for you and your team, with tools and techniques you can implement tomorrow.

  • Content which utilizes an on-demand course design to fit your schedule
  • Individualized coaching to enhance application and deepen learning
