Aspen Learning Networks Focused on Developing and Nurturing Talent and Building Cross-District Capacities
By providing ongoing and consistent opportunities for education leaders to experience professional development with their peers focused on common challenges, the program is helping participants to identify solutions that will support, nurture and develop a new cadre of school district, school and classroom leaders. Though roughly three-quarters of our total education dollars are used to support personnel, there has been little or no alignment of these resources with academic and leadership goals. And school systems are generally not well organized to support the continuous learning of the adults in their schools and central offices.
In response to the growing need to rethink this context, the Aspen Education Program has developed several learning networks including:
Senior Congressional Education Staff Network
Chief Academic Officers Network (CAO)
Chief Financial Officers Network (CFO)
Urban Literacy Leadership Network (ULLN)
Urban Math Leadership Network (UMLN)
Building a Teaching Effectiveness Network (BTEN)
