Elevate your impact with a focus on leadership
A cohort-based approach to navigating challenges and opportunities
Education leaders are charged with anticipating future challenges while addressing today’s roadblocks. Their decisions and actions have far-reaching influence—on communities, teachers, and, most importantly, learners. Using a cohort-based approach, participants are grouped with leaders in similar roles and school types and guided through everyday problems by an experienced Cognia ambassador.
