School & District Administrator PBE Leadership Pathway

                          

Thank you for your interest in joining a special cohort of school and district administrators as part of the National PBE Conference. This program is designed to support school and district leaders interested in bringing PBE teaching and learning into their school communities, and who would benefit from relevant professional learning and peer support. It’s our way of inviting the administrator community deeper into the world of place-based education and sharing our gratitude for your leadership in education!

The program is a no-cost add-on for conference registrants. 15 full conference scholarships are also available for school/district administrators in Michigan who need financial assistance to participate. In addition to the school administrators presentation track throughout the conference agenda, this program will include the following:

🍁 An Administrators Kickoff event, taking place the evening of Wednesday, November 12th, from 6-7pm ET at the Eagle Crest Marriott Hotel in Ypsilanti, MI. This event will feature an administrator keynote address, heavy appetizers and refreshments, and time to network with fellow school/district leaders around PBE. This event will transition into the conference-wide welcome reception at 7pm ET.

🍁 Seating with fellow administrators at the Place-Based Celebration on the evening of Thursday, November 13th. This event will be a time for further networking, and will include dinner and a full-set performance from conference keynote artist, May Erlewine (pre-registration required).

🍁 A Pathway Wrap-Up for participating administrators as part of the final session of the conference on the afternoon of Friday, November 14th.

🍁 Access to a minimum of 2 hours for 1:1 consultation with GLSI’s PBE Leadership Coaches to explore next steps and strategies for bringing PBE teaching and learning to your school/district (available 2025-26 school year).

🍁 Access to exclusive professional learning webinars throughout the remainder of the 2025-26 school year diving deeper into PBE implementation at the school and district levels.

By applying to be a part of this program, you affirm your capacity to participate in each component. Slots will be filled on a rolling basis until the program reaches capacity (30 slots available).
