Leader Development

We believe collaboration makes us all better. Learning together affords us opportunities to develop new and better solutions to the challenges we face. We also believe that every educator deserves the opportunity to develop as the leader. That’s why we find unique ways to bring educators together, equipping them with the resources and practice needed to inspire the change our students are counting on.

We currently offer two leadership development opportunities:

The Teacher Leader Fellowship aims to increase the success of diverse learners by empowering and equipping teacher leaders to lead change within their classrooms and schools. Engaging in a year-long program, Teacher Leaders develop both technical and leadership skills to enact change for the diverse learners they serve.

Coaches need coaching and community too! This is especially true for coaches who lead school efforts to ensure accessibility and growth for diverse learners. The Coaching Collaborative launches during the summer with an in-person workshop and meets throughout the year to develop the core competencies and creative solutions required of a special populations coach or coordinator.

Our 24-25 cohort registration has launched! Seats are limited, with our first required session beginning in August. Learn more & apply here, or reach out to Mary Matthews at marym@diverselearnerscoop.com

 

Hear from educators who have participated in DLC Learning Communities:

“You have been incredibly helpful to my development as a leader. I believe your support has been the most impactful professional development in my career.”

“I learned more through DLC than I have through any other PD platform. I feel confident that I can create change in my school and continue my project!”

“It was a really hard year for me with so many transitions and I honestly don't think I would have made it through the school year without the Fellowship community and resources. I am SO grateful for all of the amazing resources and support the DLC has provided for me. I really can't thank the DLC enough for all of the time and thought you put into this experience.”
