Academic Rigor as a Path to Growing Students as Leaders of a Better Future
March 23, 2023 to March 24, 2023
The role of academic excellence in schooling is a highly contentious topic. Especially since the pandemic, it seems that well-intended education reformers are split into those who want to focus more narrowly on academic achievement because that will open opportunities for all children, and those who believe that widening student outcomes is the best path to prepare students for their future.
Teaching As Collective Leadership takes a stand in favor of moving beyond this opposition: we see broader outcomes as a vital part of achieving rigorous academic learning, and academic rigor as essential in growing student leadership. Click here to learn more about Teaching As Collective Leadership.
So how do we get really clear on what growing leadership looks like in the context of specific subject areas, to put this in reach of all teachers? What forms of training and support will enable teachers to identify and overcome the real barriers that make this hard? And how do we change the debate to move beyond the false choice between academic rigor, and broader outcomes such as student well-being and agency?
Join us to explore these questions together. The first session will explore the overall theme: ‘What role does academic excellence play in growing leaders of a better future?’ The second session will explore: ‘How can we teach humanities subjects in ways that grow students as leaders of a better future?’ The third session will explore: ‘How can we teach STEM in ways that grow students as leaders of a better future?’
Feel free to join us for one or all of the sessions. Everyone is welcome. No prior knowledge is required. The targeted audience will primarily teachers, designers, and coaches - but also open to anyone with an interest in the purpose of education.

The course will be available in English and will be open to all network staff members, participants and alumni.

This online, self-paced program has been designed to help learners explore how education systems are impacted by unexpected crises, such as war or natural disasters. This 'EiE' online course is made up of 5 modules that address the foundations of emergency education, including virtual visits to explore teaching and learning inside real crisis-affected classrooms.
The objective is to build a foundational knowledge of EiE and to hear directly from students and teachers who have been caught up in crises. By the end of this course, we hope that participants will have a better understanding of how Teach For All network partners have responded to different emergencies, and learn more about the principles which guide our network’s approach to working in humanitarian contexts
This self-paced online course is open to all network staff members, participants and alumni.

The Teach For All + Oak Foundation Inclusive Education Course invites innovative teachers and teacher coaches from across our global network and beyond to join an interactive course focused on inclusive education for learners with disabilities and learning differences.
The course centers on who learners are aware (understand the social, political and cultural context in which students learn and grow, including cultural identities and systemic injustices) and how they learn (agency; taking responsibility for one’s learning and believing in one’s ability to determine a life path and impact others).
Through this course, we will individually and collectively reflect on Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy, Universal Design for Learning, and Metacognition to support us in creating reimagined and inclusive environments that allow every child to shine and create a better world for themselves and all of us.
