Sessions

What happens in each session

Seven convenings and one full-day intensive, sequenced across three phases.

Presented in partnership with

Excavation

The cohort forms. Fellows map the people, places, and moments that shaped them, and name the community they lead on behalf of.

Fellows surface the values already driving their decisions and put language to the leadership purpose they want to be known for.

Examination

One full day on race, identity, and power, and how each shows up in the rooms fellows lead.

Embodied practice for hard conversations, escalated moments, and crisis mornings, so fellows stay grounded when it counts.

Fellows assess the belonging conditions in their buildings and practice the moves that build trust with staff, students, and families.

Construction

Fellows design decision processes that keep community voice at the center without slowing the work to a stop.

Turning outward: protocols, feedback rhythms, and team practices fellows can run with their own staff.

Fellows present their Leadership Action Projects, name commitments forward, and close as a community that keeps holding them.

Between the convenings

Monthly peer labs where fellows bring a live dilemma and leave with next moves.

Two one-on-one sessions to translate insight into concrete practice.

Roughly 1 to 2 hours a month of reading, reflection, and forward practice between convenings.

Session order is intentional. Exact dates are shared with accepted fellows.

Let's do the inner work for outer change together!
