The Harvard Experience 1. INSPIRATIONAL AND PRACTICAL

2. SUPPORTED BY COMMUNITY

You will emerge from our programs armed with tools you can use, invigorated and inspired. Equip yourself to tackle current issues while rediscovering strengths and unlocking your leadership potential.

No matter your role or where you are from, you will connect with peers who face similar problems of practice. Surrounded by this diverse group, you will have space to voice concerns, share insights, and work through solutions. In the process, you will build a professional network that will support you throughout your career.

Learning as a Team Educators who participate as a team increase the impact of their learning both during the program and in their daily practice. Team members who support each other and work collectively on a shared vision for moving forward are better prepared to implement a plan and support each other in their local context.

Many of our programs are designed especially for teams. Groups of various sizes as well as individuals are welcome to apply. Please consult a specific program’s webpage for more information about who should attend.

Success in today’s preK–12 education landscape demands proven strategies, new ways of thinking, and the support of others who care deeply about improving outcomes for students.

Our participants return to their work feeling transformed, with leadership vision and a renewed passion for changing lives through education.
