School Focus

Joining our Lead by Learning network, Melrose Leadership Academy is supporting a teacher-led learning design. Their teacher leaders are collaborating to create an adult learning culture where teachers are a part of a community of learners who trust, respect and engage each other as professionals in service of their student goals and use inquiry to support one another to share their learning journey.

“Through the collaborative inquiry there’s a real aha moment,” said Carrie Wilson, executive director of Mills Teacher Scholars. “It gives teachers a chance to see how the competencies intersect with their instructional practices.”
