Community of Practice
21CSLA Leadership Coaching Network 26-27
The Leadership Coaching Network provides an opportunity to deepen your leadership practice in collaboration with other school leaders who are engaged in similar work. Facilitated by an experienced and knowledgeable educator, the CoP creates a supportive space for reflection, problem solving, and shared learning centered around a self-identified problem of practice connected to your school or district context.
Through this collaborative experience, participants build meaningful professional community, strengthen their leadership capacity, and gain practical strategies and feedback that support transformational change. The CoP is designed to help leaders move beyond isolation by engaging in ongoing dialogue, reflection, and collective learning that directly impacts school culture, systems, and outcomes for students.
Women in Leadership
Leading for Justice
26-27
Women in Leadership: A Community of Equity Practice is a learning series designed to strengthen women’s confidence, capacity, and effectiveness as equity-centered leaders. Centering race while examining the intersection of race and gender, participants will explore how identity, power, dominant culture, and organizational dynamics influence how they lead, how they are experienced by others, and their ability to act when inequity shows up.
At the center of the series will be each leader’s problem of practice: a real equity challenge within their school, department, program, or organization that is creating barriers or inequitable experiences and outcomes for students. Participants will use the Race-Work Principles and Intersection framework to examine what is sustaining the problem, locate themselves within it, and determine where their leadership can make a difference. Between sessions, they will take concrete action by having the conversation, interrupting the pattern, changing the practice, challenging the decision, or using their positional power differently. Leaders will return to the community to examine what happened and what they learned.
Through shared learning, dialogue, case practice, peer consultation, and action, participants will build the confidence to trust their leadership, navigate difficult and uncomfortable moments, and move beyond simply recognizing inequity to doing something about it. Ultimately, the series is designed to help women leaders more consistently align what they believe with how they lead and strengthen their ability to disrupt the practices, decisions, and systems that create barriers for children.
