LEADERS ARE SEEING REAL RESULTS
The Leadership Academy has been a game-changer in helping me develop a schoolwide plan for math professional learning and in connecting instructional practices with the Genius Squad resources available to teachers. The modules are easy to navigate and can be used as designed or adapted to fit your schedule.
The Leadership Academy strengthened my ability to follow through and support schoolwide implementation of instructional practices. Leveraging these resources, I felt confident launching Math Genius Squad with staff in an intentional, incremental, and strategic way that created early wins and built momentum, increasing teacher motivation and excitement about expanding the work.
