Leader Fellows Program
COHORTS FOR K-12 ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS
Recharge your passion for education with a team of like-minded changemakers.
The PLP Leader Fellows program empowers cohorts of innovative K-12 teachers, coaches, and administrators to make visible change in schools using current research in brain science.
As a fellow, you will explore a passion project that connects brain science with your passions and curiosities related to teaching, learning, and leadership. The one-year cohort program includes in-person and virtual professional learning sessions spaced throughout the summer and school year, personalized coaching, and a book of your choice related to the brain and learning. Act 48 and Act 45 credits are available for this program for PA participants. Applications open each February.
Think Tank Innovators Program
FOR TEAMS OF SOLUTIONS-ORIENTED EDUCATORS
Transformational change in school learning and culture requires a purposeful integration of teachers’, administrators’, and students’ voices. PLP Think Tanks provide a framework for engaging a core team of solutions-minded educators toward a common purpose of improving their schools, grounded in research on how people learn and thrive.
PLP Partner Innovation Summit Series
FOR LEADERS OF PARTNER DISTRICTS
Each year, lead administrators and teachers from districts across our PLP Partner Network gather to collaboratively innovate solutions to common challenges in K-12 education, through the lens of current brain science.
Beginning in 2023, we introduced Synapse Sessions where fellows and partners present to one another about how they are leveraging brain science to advance learning and culture in their schools. Partners present about fellowship passion projects, think tank innovations, family engagement with brain science, Portraits of a Classroom and Educator, and more.
