Transcend is proud to announce the first rural cohort of the Learner-Centered Leadership Lab (LCLL), a program specifically designed for the most forward-thinking and visionary systems leaders who are committed to putting learners first. Through the LCLL, and in tandem with the Rural Schools Design Community, 10 rural leaders from across the country will work collaboratively and support each other to create conditions that will enable learners to thrive in a world that is constantly evolving.
In the spirit of learning from one another, the Transcend team recently spoke with superintendents from our newest rural cohort to learn more about what inspires them to do this work. Read more here!
ERATS was selected as one of only 10 schools to partner with Transcend, a national education nonprofit organization, to be a part of their second cohort of the Rural Schools Design Community. This is a ten-month program where school administrators and faculty will prioritize reimagining our school model to better serve students and families.
As part of this cohort, our school will convene multiple times and work with a Transcend coach to gain experience in centering student voices and leading a community-based school design process that will drive equitable results for all students. We will also integrate insights from science of learning and development and will have opportunities to learn from other rural school colleagues in our cohort, as well as innovative school models nationwide. There will also be opportunities to integrate your input into the process so students’ education experiences and outcomes better reflect the strengths and needs of our community.
