An open forum, the network of Lead Learners connects designated Lead Learners across ISACS schools, inspiring and energizing, collectively sharing ideas, disseminating knowledge, growing skills and, together, lifting each of our schools to a higher level. Each ISACS school nominates one or more committed and motivated teacher volunteers to represent their school in this forum. 

The Four Pillars of Lead Learners

• Empowerment
  Designated Lead Learners have an innate desire to "step up" as a fulcrum for growth, change, and betterment at their school.
• Enlightenment
  Lead Learners are highly self-motivated to share fresh, novel or even revolutionary ideas, methods, philosophies, and perspectives.
• Responsibility
  Lead Learners understand and welcome their personal role and responsibility as a conduit for knowledge sharing, and as an agent of change at their school.
• Collaboration
  Lead Learners reach beyond their individual classroom, department or school, collectively benefiting from a broad community of ideas from similarly inspired teacher leaders.

Curriculum
Topics and direction of discussion within the forum are totally driven by Lead Learners.  We’ll virtually meet throughout the school year, and gather in-person at the Annual Conference with ISACS moderators, to discuss topics of importance to the group.

Why become a Lead Learner?
Within many of our classrooms, departments, schools, and communities there is often limited opportunity for cross-sharing of ideas, problem solving, novel (or revolutionary!) program development, or innovative teaching approaches or tools.
