This experience is open to all Teacher Leaders who have taken at least one core course from the Teacher Leader Institute and is required for all Teacher Leaders seeking their Certificate of International School Leadership from the PTC, entirely online.

What will I learn?

  • identify a problem of practice that you can address within your sphere of influence

  • develop an action plan to initiate meaningful change
