Connecting Education Leaders through Transformative Support
The Cohort Experience guides a curated community of motivated education leaders through novel approaches to effective leadership, problem solving, and professional growth.
During the 3-month Cohort Experience, LeveragED brings leaders across the education sector together, engaging them through facilitated problem-of-practice experiences in a thoughtfully curated community. This unique environment supports participants as they explore their approach to leadership and move beyond problem-solving toward empowering professional growth.
Diverse by Design
Cohorts are intentionally crafted with leaders from an array of positions and backgrounds within education, leveraging their leadership styles and diverse perspectives for problem solving and community building.
Tailored Guidance
Each member is paired with a Guide who supports their journey through personalized sessions to understand their goals and connect them to people, experiences, and resources that strengthen their growth.
Problem of Practice
Through facilitated conversation, members engage their cohort community to help them develop their decision-making framework and reflect upon their growth areas in order to drive positive, lasting change.
Cohort Alumni Voices
“My experience with LeveragED's Cohort Experience was transformative. The personalized 1:1 coaching guided me through an "archeology of self," helping me uncover deeper insights into who I am as a leader. This reflective journey was instrumental in preparing me to tackle my problem of practice with clarity and purpose. The community within my Cohort was equally enriching, both personally and professionally. Engaging with fellow members not only broadened my perspective, but also fostered lasting connections that continue to support my growth today.”
