What practices elevate educator voices and support teachers as they take charge of their own learning? During this 2-day institute, participants will collaborate to envision and design solutions, leaving with prototypes and protocols that advance professional practice in their local context. This session is ideal for novice and experienced educators, edcampers, Teach to Lead alum (and future “teach to leaders”) and educational leaders striving to take professional learning to the next level.

Participants will:

• Engage in collective exploration of self-identified problems of practice and topics using edcamp, Teach to Lead and Open Space models
• Take ideas to action using a Teach to Lead logic model protocol and Design Thinking practices
• Develop and refine innovative solutions using a Proaction Café protocol
• Provide, receive, and implement actionable feedback
• Walk out the door with an action plan, refined solutions, ideas, resources, toolkits, and access to an online network that advances professional learning beyond Empower19
