Summit Hosting

Make Your District a Leader in the Region

Build capacity in your staff and pride in your community when you become a Summit host.

TILI doesn't just serve Oklahoma schools through OTEP coordination, our mission is to build instructional leadership capacity in schools throughout the region.

Districts that take on an Instructional Leadership Coordinator also commit to hosting summits that focus on a particular area of instructional strength that they wish to share with the wider community of Oklahoma public schools.

TILI host districts can send one cohort from each of their school sites to join a summit community, gathering knowledge on their chosen instructional focus and bringing that knowledge back to their school sites. TILI guides cohorts throughout the school year by creating in-person and virtual platforms for the exchange of ideas.

Each site builds a cohort with representatives from the groups described below. At each summit, representatives attend sessions designed to deepen their instructional leadership capacity in ways that are specific to their roles. Then, after returning to their sites, the learning continues through virtual guidance for cohorts to use as they work together to improve instruction.

Leadership Cohorts Exchange Knowledge

Administrator

At TILI's Fall and Spring Summits, administrators will attend expert panels and instructional feedback workshops designed to train administrators to give brief but effective feedback on the selected cohort focus.

Instructional Leader

This can be an Instructional Coach, an EL Coach, a Curriculum Leader or an additional administrator. This cohort member will participate in Instructional Leader round tables, and in-depth coaching workshops on the cohort's selected focus.

Teacher Leaders

Cohorts should include two teacher leaders who are committed to sharing their knowledge with colleagues. Teacher leaders will attend teacher round tables, resource reviews, and workshops on the cohort's selected focus.

Teacher + Para Partnership

This may be a different pair at each summit or workshop. The partners will participate in a guided collaboration session designed to improve communication, clarify educational objectives, and build teamwork. The workshops will focus on teacher + para partner work in the specific focus selected by the cohort.
