ADVISORY BOARD
North American Innovation Advisory Board
Roundtable discussions that bring education leaders together to share big-picture ideas, experiences, and practical wisdom.
OUR APPROACH
Mobilizing collective intelligence to improve schooling experiences.
Roundtable discussions give leaders the space, time, and safety to reflect together, consider profound questions, and inform new directions for education innovation.
Following the first discussions with Canadian and U.S. school and district leaders in December 2021, members now meet in cohorts each quarter around a shared theme, supporting continuous collaboration and innovation.
