CDE Leadership Learning Cohorts

CDE Leadership Learning Cohorts

Starting in the fall of 2021, the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) will convene leadership learning cohorts to support school and district leaders. Each cohort has a different main topic with an overall focus on supporting leaders in their school improvement efforts.

Throughout the duration of the cohort, participants will build or refine:

• Systems for data collection and analysis
• Tools, templates, protocols, and strategies that can be used in your school
• Current action plans for school improvement
• A community of school and district leaders across the state focused on the same learning to share, provide feedback, and problem solve.

Cohorts will convene for three to five sessions to learn about a topic, share and observe practices of other schools, and discuss strategies for implementation. The cohorts will meet via Zoom and/or in-person sessions. When possible, in-person sessions will be hosted at a participating school or district site. Travel costs are the responsibility of the participant.
