Career Academy Leaders' Collaborative - Enrollment Now Open for Cohort 4
Program Overview
Participants develop adaptive leadership capacity for effective, high quality, and equitable implementation of the career academy model with fidelity to the National Standards of Practice for Career Academies (NSOP). The program consists of a year-long fellowship built on three in-person workshops and on-going virtual support. NCAC's vision for the Career Academy Leaders Collaborative is to develop leadership capacity to grow school-community networks that harness the power of collective impact, ultimately improving the economic and life chances of all youth.
The Collaborative
The Career Academy Leaders' Collaborative will be supported by a partnership between two organizations:
- The Education Development Center (EDC)
- The National Career Academy Coalition (NCAC)
Intended Participants
The Fellowship offers individual school and/or district leaders a thorough grounding in the NSOP, leadership assistance, and methods for understanding and overcoming implementation challenges. Registration of leadership teams is encouraged; these could include teachers, coaches, guidance counselors, school and district administrators, and advisory board members.
