IASA’s cohort model offers the best opportunity to network, build close relationships with peers, hear from high-level education speakers and grow both personally and professionally. Register today for Reimagining Rural Leadership, a new IASA cohort focused on helping rural educators advance 21st Century learning practices while maintaining community support.
Why Attend? Due to issues like internet access, limited healthcare, lack of industry, declining populations, and lower funding levels, rural school leaders face different challenges than their peers in urban and suburban areas. This new cohort aims to provide participants with high-quality professional development to address those unique challenges, often with fewer resources, while advancing modern learning practices geared toward students from rural areas.
The sessions will feature leaders from national education organizations, superintendents from other states and tours of innovative schools. A discussion on education trends/research and opportunities to share successes and challenges with peers will be prioritized each session.
