Collaborative Design Workshop for Teacher Leadership Development
February 12, 2026
This workshop is part of Teach For All’s Collaborative Inquiry on Teacher Leadership Development, an effort to answer a key learning question for our network: How can we develop teachers as leaders who foster the holistic development of students, and what conditions make this possible?
Over the past months, we have conducted a Review Sprint with partners, external organizations, internal teams, and teachers to gather and systematize existing knowledge. This workshop is a collaborative learning space to make meaning of what has been gathered, engage a broader group of stakeholders, and collectively surface, refine, and pressure-test early hypotheses about what effectively grows teachers who develop students holistically.
The session will be hosted by the Global Institute and offered at two time options to accommodate diverse schedules. All participants—whether or not they contributed to the Review Sprint—are welcome to join as co-learners and sense-makers.
Objectives
- Make sense of the insights gathered during the Review Sprint by identifying key patterns, themes, and
emerging evidence of what develops teachers as leaders who foster holistic student growth. - Collectively surface and refine hypotheses about the learning conditions, experiences, and programmatic
choices that enable strong teacher leadership development - Provide crowd-sourced feedback that strengthens and prioritizes the most promising hypotheses to
guide the next phase of the Collaborative Inquiry.

We all recognize the truth of the idea that "a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change

happen?

We’ll also explore why convening is a key to transforming education, what role it plays in growing
momentum for change in a school, neighborhood or country, and how to do it well.

- Participants will know where convening is best used to contribute to reshaping education

The Key to Transformational Training & Support for Teachers: Rooting Your Program in Collectively Contextualized Student Vision and Holistic Outcomes

This workshop will explore the power that clear visions of student success (as indicated by well defined holistic student outcomes) have to inform strategic design choices in teacher development programs. This workshop is for program designers and teacher coaches who want to change how we teach, and educators who believe education should expect students to do more than passively receive. Through this workshop we will learn from strong vision-aligned programs, specifically what they are doing to develop transformational teachers that are actively working towards classrooms where every student is active,
inspired, and ready to shape the future.
We will offer this learning experience in English, with interpretation and/or translation to Spanish. If you need live interpretation of the experience and/or translation of materials in additional languages to support your engagement, please indicate this via the registration/application form. We welcome all requests and will work to provide appropriate language support measures. However, please understand that we may not be able to accommodate all requests.
Objective
- Analyze and articulate how a clear and compelling Student Vision (moving beyond compliance and control) fundamentally shifts the purpose of your design and approach with students.
- Identify ways to create and/or integrate holistic outcomes and a meaningful student vision into your lesson or program plans.
