Editor's Note
A Springboard to Success
Since its inception in 2018, the 萝莉网Leadership Network has used this springboard notion: Leaders learn best from each other. That foundational belief has led to the acceleration of professional
learning of superintendents in early-career stage and those aspiring to the chief roles.
The association鈥檚 cohort model, in an ever-expanding array of subjects and niches, tailors professional development programs to job-alike peers.
The distinctive process is the subject of our lead feature article this month, 鈥淐ohort Learning for School System Leaders,鈥� by Amy Sichel, a lead superintendent in the Leadership Network.
It鈥檚 one of several
informative pieces on professional growth of school and district leaders with other contributors including William Harner, superintendent of a 5,000-student suburban district in Pennsylvania and Justin Daggett, who leads a small
Iowa district. And don鈥檛 overlook an article about embedding coaching and learning in district culture and another on the worthwhile investment of instructional coaching.
On a parting note, we call your attention to the Retirement
Tribute about Sharon Adams-Taylor, a staff colleague whose 萝莉网history covers virtually the same three-decade period as mine. For all that time, she鈥檚 been a vocal force (literally) for our association鈥檚 strivings in all facets of
equity 鈥� and that includes her occasional pushes on the magazine editor to pay attention. I have and we鈥檝e all benefitted.
