The Empowered Superintendent edWebinar Series
School district leaders face many challenges leading schools and driving school improvement. Collaboration with peers is one of the most effective ways to learn about effective ideas and practices. CoSN and edWeb.net have launched an online professional learning community and edWebinar series to help superintendents connect and collaborate to help each other in this endeavor. You can attend the edWebinars live to connect with peers in real time, or view the recordings. Join the Super-Connected community on edWeb for online discussions and resources.
“The CoSN/edWeb superintendent webinar series allows us to leverage technology to engage in conversations each month with district leaders who are leading the way in meeting the learning needs of all students, and providing a valuable guide for others to follow.”
—Ann McMullan, Project Director, CoSN Empowered Superintendents Program.
