LEAP's Sue Holmes walked attendees through the 10-month virtual cohort program supporting school teams as they design, pilot, and scale student-centered innovations. You'll hear the perspective of an elementary school leader and a high school leader on their teams’ experiences in this year’s program: the challenge they tackled, what they built, and what changed for their students and their teachers. By attending, you’ll get an understanding of the accelerator’s goals, how we set teams up for success, the timeline and time commitments, and the value for participating schools.
