  • Deeper Leading / Learning Session

    9:30 – 11:30 a.m.
    Tuition: Included in Winter Institute tuition. Pre-registration required. Continental breakfast provided.

    School leaders in New York State can embark on a transformative journey over the course of the 2024-25 school year, beginning with the Fall Leadership Summit and continuing at the Winter Institute, to build a Deeper Learning Crew. Deeper Learning is an approach to rethinking schools in a way that meets the demands of the 21st century. Guided by project-based learning (PBL) design principles, participants will craft actionable strategies around school programming rooted in real-world contexts.

    Over two immersive face-to-face sessions at Fall and Winter and four virtual meetings, leaders will engage in a multifaceted exploration that creates experiences in schools that maximize the Deeper Learning Competencies, including content expertise, critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration, communication and self-directed learning. This year-long experience will create a network of practitioners who mutually support one another in transforming their school communities through building a culture of inquiry and reflection. The experience culminates with an invitation to the Deeper Learning Conference in Kingston, NY in July 2025.

    Even if you missed the first Fall Leadership Summit session, we encourage you to participate in the Winter Institute Session.
