AWSP’s partner, sideby, has two new shared summer courses/badges that are now live and accepting enrollment:
- Leading Teams in the AI Era: AI is already changing how educators think, plan, and make decisions, and leaders need new ways to support teams through that shift. This badge helps school and district leaders strengthen adult learning, team culture, and collective problem-solving while applying new approaches in the context of their real work. Participants learn with and from peers through practical experiments, reflection, and shared leadership challenges. Learn more and enroll.
- AI for Leading Efficiently: This learning experience equips school leaders (Principals, APs, Coaches, Team Leaders) to harness AI for the operational challenges that consume disproportionate leadership time and energy. Participants will move from identifying an operational problem of practice (e.g., weekly communications, schedules) to actively designing AI-supported workflows that reduce time & cognitive load, and free up capacity for the instructional, relational, and equity-centered leadership that matters most. We have designed this learning experience so busy leaders can learn in the context of their actual work, rather than through disconnected tasks. The badge is job-embedded, experiential, and peer-driven: participants will learn from colleagues in the cohort and from applying new approaches to their everyday work. They will also build background knowledge through curated, high-quality resources and tools aligned for operational leadership. Learn more and enroll.
Both courses run July 21 – August 28, 2026.
