Vision & Strategy for Equity and Success
The Center for Model Schools, formerly known as the International Center for Leadership in Education, is committed to ensuring that every child has access to a model school experience. Through collaborative efforts with educators at all levels, the Center aims to forge a transformative vision and strategy that promotes equity, academic success, and overall well-being for all students. By fostering a culture of shared values among stakeholders and promoting transparent decision-making processes, the Center helps schools create environments that prioritize student achievement and support holistic growth.
Supporting Teaching & Learning Excellence
One of the core focus areas of the Center for Model Schools is empowering educators to take charge of a teaching and learning agenda that fosters excellence through systemwide, relationship-based activities. By providing support and resources for instructional leadership, the Center helps educators develop strategies that cater to the diverse needs of students while promoting engagement and personalized learning experiences. Through ongoing professional development opportunities and coaching, teachers can enhance their instructional practices and create impactful learning environments.
Empowering Leaders to Address Challenges
In today's ever-evolving educational landscape, strong leadership is essential for navigating challenges and driving positive change. The Center for Model Schools offers leadership consulting and transformational leadership networks to support school and district leaders in their professional growth. By engaging with experienced consultants and participating in collaborative forums, leaders can strengthen their skills, build sustainable frameworks for school improvement, and enhance their capacity to address complex educational issues effectively.
Model Schools Conference: Fostering Collaboration and Growth
A key initiative of the Center for Model Schools is the annual Model Schools Conference (MSC), which brings together student-focused educators from around the country to share strategies, learn from industry experts, and reflect on personal and professional growth. Through inspiring keynote presentations, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities, educators can gain valuable insights and tools to enhance their practices and create more inclusive, student-centered learning environments. The MSC serves as a platform for educators to connect, collaborate, and inspire one another to drive positive change in education.
