Over the last decade I’ve worked with thousands of teachers and school leaders in-person and through online workshops and courses. I’ve never been more excited about an opportunity to work with you all than I am right now!
I’ve partnered with Maven to release the first Cohort of a new program:
Why am I so excited???
Well, first, I’ve been following what Maven has been doing for a long time (and I’m kind of a super-fan). Maven is building the “university of the future” and believes going through a course alongside a group of peers is the best way to achieve transformation.
A quick glance of the cohorts and instructors on Maven and you can see why I’m so excited to be a part of this community:
So, what’s my Cohort all about?
AI isn’t coming to education. It’s already reshaping how decisions get made, how communication happens, how data gets interpreted, and how work gets done. The question is no longer if leaders should use AI, it’s whether you’ll use it with intention or fall behind using it accidentally.
Right now, most school leaders are stuck at the surface level understanding and skill. Using AI to draft an email… maybe summarize a document… occasionally make a resource.
That’s not leadership-level AI use.
The real shift (and the move that puts you in the top 1% of school leaders) is learning how to use AI to think, lead, and design better systems.
What you’ll learn in the Cohort
