The League selected this year’s new members based on their educational leadership, demonstrated commitment to equity and excellence, innovative vision for learning, key achievements, and collaborative spirit. Members of this new cohort are serving the whole child, prioritizing student wellbeing, implementing cutting-edge technologies, preparing learners for the future of work, and more.
Through their membership in the League, superintendents and leaders from these new districts will help shape the future of teaching and learning through hands-on opportunities to collaborate, connect, and learn. Alongside fellow League members, these leaders will access unique opportunities to co-create, pilot, and scale innovative practices, apply learnings to their own districts, and identify and promote promising practices to other districts across the country.
Here’s how the 2023-2024 cohort is identifying and implementing innovative approaches to teaching and learning in service of all learners, from the perspective of their superintendents:
Last week, representatives from these eight districts joined the League in New York, New York, for our biannual convening hosted by Mineola Public Schools. Here, they were officially welcomed into the network by fellow members and participated in school visits in Mineola, learned from Digital Promise initiatives and more than 30 League districts through interactive breakout sessions, and built meaningful connections with leaders, researchers, and partners.
Launched in 2011, the League of Innovative Schools is a national network of school districts that connects and supports the most forward-thinking leaders in education. By collaborating on shared priorities, League members – including superintendents and district leaders – spearhead innovative learning and leadership practices to achieve equitable outcomes for every student.
The Digital Promise League of Innovative Schools is now accepting members for its 2024-2025 cohort! Interested districts can learn more and apply by May 31, 2024.
