The overriding philosophy behind a teacher leader system is complex, but the ultimate goal is clear – improve student learning. There is no better way to do this than to empower teachers and administrators to lead the effort. The professional learning experts at Central Rivers AEA have collaborated to put together this series of offerings to support local schools. If you have suggestions for the Lead, Inspire, Innovate series, don’t hesitate to reach out to your Regional Administrator or Kay Schmalen at kschmalen@centralriversaea.org
