Teach For All Learning Forum: The Missing Piece: Developing Collective Leadership to Transform Education
May 07, 2024 to May 08, 2024
Over the past five years, Teach For All has engaged hundreds of leaders from across our global network in generating evidence about what is at work in the communities and systems worldwide that are making progress toward ensuring that all children learn.
In a brand new report, we will share what we have learned: that technical solutions alone will not improve learning for all, and that progress will require developing collective leadership—a critical mass of diverse, purpose-driven leaders working together throughout the ecosystem around children to create the enabling conditions for change.
In this learning forum, we’ll hear from network leaders and the authors of the report about how to develop collective leadership—the critical missing piece in our efforts to transform education.
We will be hosting two calls hosted by Wendy Kopp and Alex Beard featuring the following great line-ups of provocative speakers:
Tuesday, May 7 | 3-4 PM GMT (see your timezone here)
Interpretation in Arabic, Spanish, and French
- Tomas Recart, CEO, Enseña Chile

Wednesday, May 8 | 7-8 AM GMT (see your timezone here)
Interpretation in Arabic, Spanish, and French
- Shaheen Mistri, CEO, Teach For India
- Larisa Hovannisian, CEO, Teach For Armenia

This online, self-paced program has been designed to help learners explore how education systems are impacted by unexpected crises, such as war or natural disasters. This 'EiE' online course is made up of 5 modules that address the foundations of emergency education, including virtual visits to explore teaching and learning inside real crisis-affected classrooms.
The objective is to build a foundational knowledge of EiE and to hear directly from students and teachers who have been caught up in crises. By the end of this course, we hope that participants will have a better understanding of how Teach For All network partners have responded to different emergencies, and learn more about the principles which guide our network’s approach to working in humanitarian contexts
This self-paced online course is open to all network staff members, participants and alumni.

The Teach For All + Oak Foundation Inclusive Education Course invites innovative teachers and teacher coaches from across our global network and beyond to join an interactive course focused on inclusive education for learners with disabilities and learning differences.
The course centers on who learners are aware (understand the social, political and cultural context in which students learn and grow, including cultural identities and systemic injustices) and how they learn (agency; taking responsibility for one’s learning and believing in one’s ability to determine a life path and impact others).
Through this course, we will individually and collectively reflect on Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy, Universal Design for Learning, and Metacognition to support us in creating reimagined and inclusive environments that allow every child to shine and create a better world for themselves and all of us.
