Join A Summit Community

Two Ways To Engage in TILI Summit Communities

Cohorts: Build a cohort at your school site and select a summit community to join for the 2025-2026 school year. The five to seven representatives who make up your school's cohort will attend TILI summits in the fall, spring and summer. Between summits, can stay connected on the virtual summit community platform where they will receive tips on how to make the learning relevant at their sites and they will also maintain connections with colleagues in similar roles at neighboring schools.

Summit Hosting: 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. Summit hosts are encouraged to send one cohort from each of their school sites to join the summit community of their choice for the 2025-2026 school year.

Build a cohort at your site. 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 in their school.

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.
