Dear Teach to Lead Summit Participants, It is our pleasure to welcome you to Dubai and to the first Powered by Teach to Lead Summit! We are delighted that you decided to spend your weekend with colleagues and are certain you will return to your schools inspired.
Teach to Lead believes that as experts, teachers should be leading the kinds of changes you know your students and colleagues need to improve schooling and instruction.
Teacher Leadership Summits are two-day regional convenings to help spotlight and advance the groundbreaking, teacher-led work that is happening in schools across the region. During a summit, teams of educators convene to think deeply about a problem of practice – an idea for how to improve learning in their school or country context – and to work as a team to plan solutions.
We sincerely say thank you to the schools, teachers, administrators, partners, exhibitors, volunteers and conference team for supporting our mission and making this summit possible! KDSL Global Team www.kdslglobal.com
